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.

Thank you FB, life is wonderful in all its ups and downs.

And so the journey of life continues. You choice of analogy, climbing a mountain, is excellent in your learned case because the view from high has enabled you to view the landscape of what life is all about and accept it into your psyche. Climbing higher still will bring further treasure I hope.
Thank you da, that mountain has been hard at times but gets easier as I go on, there is still a long way to the top.

Such a moving read dear Andy - may you continue to reach happiness as you climb higher.
Thank you Fay, that happiness will always be there for me.
Andy
if it wasn't for those stumbles and falls,i wouldn't have the honor of knowing you gold,it really is an honor.
So kind blue, those stumbles and falls in our lives give us the experience in our lives to allow us to move on in a smoother way.
