To set a footing on a cloud, a sunbeam ladder to the sky
A nest in heaven your goal, why do you set your sights so high
Rock bottom, a solid foundation upon which to build
Not pinned to rainbows or castles in the sky, but sweat spilled
From dirt poor, poured around the corner stone to affirm
Adversity's diversity, solid building blocks, toughness confirm
Between rock and a hard place, cuddled by what is stone rough
Mortar of mixed scabs and blood, stone scars will make your building tough

A fine write SB. Yes, I started at the bottom, I was climbing a ladder and the first rung was broke, so I fell back to earth! lol. KP asks me - you telling porkies there?!
Thanks so much Orchi for the read and support. Nothing worse than a ladder with broken rungs unless it's a singer with no lungs.
You need a foundation which is sturdy and sound
and though you might try
You can't reach for the sky
if your feet are not firmly stowed on the ground
Ah thank you Michael there you go an answer in poetic form indeed. I appreciate the kind words my friend.
