Undaunted.

As we sojourn on this earthly path
Let us a moment  spare to
 see  God 's miracle everywhere
Ups and downs stumbles and falls
cannot deter us or crumble us all
When we stand together we all stand tall

Strong winds may buffet us as we go
but the sun keeps our cheeks constantly aglow
The spirit within us a driving force
as we stumble along  a rugged course
seeing meeting and hearing things
that  pull at our hearts' tender strings

As we climb  up the spiritual ladder 
 a challenging  task and daunting too
Everything's against our climb 
 some wish you failure in their minds
But if you hang on with all you've  got
By jove you'll get there  you'll reach top.

Inspired by Maya Angelou.
