Green Hills Landscape With Trees Free Vector Clipart, Green Clipart ...

If your choice is to climb the higher hill You’ll need more supplies and a stronger will For as you climb supplies will diminish And some will be needed when you finish If you’re looking for fun and a small thrill You’ll find it better to choose a small hill Choose one you can top in just a short span With several trails up you won’t need a plan Remember to stop if you need a rest It isn’t a race and sure not a test Also remember to take you a snack Or you will get hungry when you start back For those that went higher you paid your due You topped the high hill you get the best view

To get the best view, one has to climb the tallest hill. If you are looking for a little fun, choose the smaller hill. However, you have to do something to make your climb easy and more interesting. Very sound advice. This is equally an entertaining and instructive sonnet.

Absolutely good advice ! Fun teaching sonnet. Sometimes the high road, sometimes the low road. Always the green road. Blessings to Texas, Good Sir !

Great poem! Yes, we must practice with smaller hill, then push oneself to climb and get the greatest thrill. My thrill? Just being able to walk at all. Keeping sciatica at bay, but it is on my heels. Hugs :)

so inspirational, Bill, filled with wisdom. I remember reading one time that there are two ways to get to the top of the mountain--by tram or to scrap and crawl one's way to the top. The view is the same but not the same at all. Okay, enough said, hugs, me
