Mountain Ghosts

The mountain ghosts are calling,
Beckoning drawing high,
“Climb the nooks and crannies
Conquer! Beat and fly,
"Risk your lives” The spirits says,
Touch the heavens sky,
Reaching for its glory,
Achieve it and defy,
Awesome are its challenges,
Men have climbed and died
“Will you come and try me”
Psyche my steeples rise
Fearless adventures ascending,
Exploring daring feats,
Test your skills and strengthen,
Dangers conditions bleak,
Bitter freezing blizzards,
Onwards through the snow,
Then finally if you’re lucky,
A flag, then you can go,
Thank your God for getting there,
Then safely home you go.
