Walter T. Ashe Poet Rhyme

The Valley and the Mountain Top

"The Valley And The Mountain Top"


                  Though standing in this valley
                  with yet the mountain top in view,
                  I will indulge my aspiration
                  to see the sights from that point too!
  
                  This will be my challenge,
                  to get from here to there!
                  I'll see the view from the mountain top,
                  and breath the mountain top air!

                  This is quite the challenge I chose
                  but I must make it to the top!
                  If the attempt determines 
                  the success or failure,
                 "No way now can I stop!!!"

                  There it is! I can see the top!
                  Mere feet am I away from my goal!
                  This challenge has pushed the limits, 
                  I believe of my heart, mind, body and soul!

                  Though standing on this mountain top
                  with the view of the valley below,
                  I indulged my aspiration,
                  from my indulgement
                  this I do know!

                  As wonderful as the view is from here
                  to as far as the eye can see,
                  I must never forget where this started from,
                  with the view standing in the valley!
