Wrong Turn On A Mountain Trail

Wrong Turn On A Mountain Trail

(And yet we all four survived to tell)

Some where near the summits call

As luck would have it after all

We ventured on through hazards way

Tempting fate that summer’s day

But at last we climbed into the space

And looking out with wonder on our face

From Robber’s Roost we gazed down on

The valley beneath this massive stone

To the peaks across on the other side

Eyes transfixed on the beauty spied

We had escaped our folly with much to tell

And now we stared as if under a spell

Fulfilled in heart by adventures thrill

We stood on legs that wobbled still

As others had emerged from their stay

And promptly departed the other way

What had we done what was our thought

When we took the way of danger fraught

We took a wrong turn on a mountain trail

And yet we all four survived to tell
