Never Lose Hope

There on the craggy mountain Rocks abounded full of moss Dew made the way slippery Climbing was difficult even without a cross. Up high was a lovely arch With words that urged for hope. It was my destination But the climbing was hard, steep was the slope. I had made up my mind to try, There was no other way to go Yet the paths interlaced full of dew. I fell a thousand times, but I had to know. The going was tough, I could not bear the thought. That I was going to fail. I had walked and climbed and all for naught. I turned back and went down. The going was easy now. Life became better and full of fun. I should have learned better and who cares anyhow. Suddenly I came to a large ferocious river. A river of no return. I trembled in fear For then I realized I was a fool. Yet all around were demons pushing me from the rear. A soft voice called my name ”You're still in time, turn back.” So I returned to my arduous climb It was harder now but knew that was my real track.
