Mountains to Climb

By Dee Rusin, Kenai

Always another mountain to climb

Once reached the top

You never can stop

Always another mountain to climb

Always a long valley below

Step by step it’s always so slow

Where it will lead you is hard to know

Always a long valley below

Always a rocky trail to follow

Through a dark scary wood

To a frightening hollow

Always a rocky trail to follow

Always a river too deep you must cross

Sometimes it’s narrow and covered with moss

A wild roily challenge it may mean a loss

Always a river too deep you must cross

Always a meadow with soft wavy grass

So rest for a while and let the time pass

All calm and peaceful although it won’t last

Always a meadow with soft wavy grass

Always another mountain to climb

So it continues time after time

Always another mountain to climb
