I look up my hill,
My hill of life,
The top is still ahead of me.
I look back
And there is so much below me.
I sit and stare back,
Stare back at my life.
There at the bottom
I can just see the start,
The start of my climb.
The fun of childhood.
So free and so innocent.
Climbing through school days
With hardly a stumble.
Into work days that lasted,
Lasted for more than half,
More than half the climb
To where I am now.
The joys in my life,
The woman of my love
So wonderfully in love with her,
And still am.
We will go on forever,
Our love getting ever stronger.
The joy of children,
Then the wonder of grandchildren.
The beauty of nature
Always part of my soul.
Music never lost in my life,
So much music,
So little time.
These words that come to me,
Come to me to keep me sane.
As my climb is nearly over
My path below has been filled with love,
And that love will always be with me
As I climb towards the top,
The top of my life.
