The Mountain

When the road ahead is difficult
keep going.
When the mountain seems unconquerable,
Terrifyingly monstrous,
insurmountable,
just look down,
take one step
then another
and
keep going.
When each step seems mundane
but the view ahead is beautiful
look ahead
dream
but
keep going.
Before you know it
what you have left behind
and what you have before you
is just what
you were terrified by
you were enthralled by
And it is here
It is not so bad
It is wonderful.
And the only way you got there
was because
you took one step
and then two
and then twenty
and you kept
going.
