The Mountain Of Life.

Goldfinch60



In the mountain of life

There are so many paths,

So many paths to climb,

To climb up that mountain.

What we need to know

Is that every path leads,

Leads to the same place.

So in our lives we will meet,

Meet at the top,

So it does not matter,

Does not matter which path,

Which path we take,

We will be together.

 

But in life there is that one,

That one person running,

Running around the bottom,

The bottom of the mountain,

Telling all that your path is wrong.

 

They just do not understand,

Not understand what life is.

Each of us have our own lives

And have no need to be told

That each of us is wrong.

In our lives we go our own way

And will reach the top,

Reach the top of the mountain,

The mountain of life.

      What I want to know is - When will the grand Old Duke of York make up his mind? He keeps leading those 10,000 guys up and down the hill (or mountain). They're fed up now, going back and forth! lol.

        Ha!

        • Goldfinch60

          He ended up up the mountain as we all will Orchi.

          A great message that more should heed. Different paths to the same goal. Nicely said Andy.

            Every day is a brand new mountain dear Andy. 🌹

            • Goldfinch60

              It certainly is Teddy and I have climbed very many of them.

              You take your path and I''ll take mine, Andy. Pretty sure it will lead to the same place - oblivion, most likely.

              • Goldfinch60

                When we meet at the top Dave I will buy you a Laphroaig.

                  If you don't I shall haunt you for eternity......👻

                  Would that we each find the courage and confidence to follow our own path. A very fine and most uplifting poem to start the day, thank you dear Andy!

                  • Goldfinch60

                    We all have that courage Bella and will all meet at the top. Thank you for your kind words.

                    Yes Andy, we all take our own path to the top of the mountain, except the fool at the bottom running around trying to stop us. And if he's happier there at the bottom, that's his choice. Great poem Andy. 😉👍

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Yes so very true AP, thank you.

                      Superb work.

                        Most kind Thomas.
