The Journey

The journey to reach the mountain top may
be difficult.

Digging deep into the ground as you climb: 
you slide back down.  Discouragement
and utter despair; more weight to bear.

With slippery slopes, craggy paths and
stumbling blocks abounding; you start over
and over again.

You may think you will never reach the
top, but keep your resolve and continue
climbing; it's all in the timing.
