Summit of Life.

For many, many years I have been climbing,

Climbing my mountain of life.

I stop as I near the summit and look back,

Look back down that rocky path

That has led me to where I am.

 

Along that path I have stumbled many times

But each time I arose into a better person.

There have been fissures and boulders,

Some taking time to overcome,

Bit overcome them I did

And they helped me to where I am.

 

Most of that path has been one of joy.

The places that I have seen

Bringing so much beauty and wonder to me.

The glory of Nature always thrilled me

With its unique wonder that changed every moment

And brought me to where I am.

 

The Music I have found along that path

Has led me to such wonderful times.

Listening, playing and singing such vastness

Has always been there from the foot of the mountain

Bringing such joy to me forever,

Leading me to where I am.

 

Then there is the love of my life

Walking up that path with me.

Our love for each other never failing,

With me for most of my life

Until that time she was taken off the mountain,

Leaving me to go to where I am.

 

I look up to the top of my life.

Many, many more steps to walk

Into the future above me,

And I will walk in joy to the top

Where I will step off into my lovers arms,

Waiting for me from where I am.
