Road To Mountain Top
That road to the mountain top
slippery and wet it is not as you go
guides need not pull you up and up
someone is at the bottom to push on
That road to the mountain top is hard
escarpments and cliffs beckon you
sharp rocks and soft ones on the way
with care you step on each to destination
Those who reach at the top of destiny
lucky when cold ice and snow greets
fortunate are those that find rest tent to rest
unfortunate are those that meet crater lake
Those who reach the mountain top
bear duty to those who pushed or pulled
when avalanche sweeps them downward
and volcano erupts back they fly to bottom
Climb the mountain wisely and responsibly
Never say good bye to those who lifted you
for one day you will be back in their hands
The way of the world teaches fools wisdom
But the stubborn become fleshly foolish
