CONQUERING MOUNTAINS

CONQUERING MOUNTAINS
By: Barbara Goodjoin

Mountains.
Mountains of fear,
Mountains of doubt,
Mountains of loneliness.
Walking over rocks–We pick up.
Tripping over sticks—We get up.
Stepping over holes—We overcome.
Swimming across rivers—We make it through.
Spanning valleys—We cross the line of no return.
We slip. We Gain. We slide. We claw. We run. We jump.
We tire. We sleep. We dream. We plan. We push. We conquer.
