The Rugged Trail
I walked today along a winding trail.
The pathway started subtly smooth and flat,
enticing me to take the hike and scale.
I charged the course and started with a scat.
The pathway steepened over rocks and roots
I hastened forward never did I squat.
Instead of walking shoes I needed boots.
A trail so rugged, can make ankles twist.
In rocky terrain there no better routes.
I reached the waterfall and raised my fists.
My mountain trek up Walter’s rugged trail
reminded me that when I face life’s twists,
which sorely threaten my life to derail
if I persevere, I will never fail.
