When you climb a mountain

When you climb a mountain, you must remember this
you will step on rocks that make your ankles twist.
You may want to take a short cut, but this you mustn't do,
because you'll find you'll be going in circles when the climb is through.
When you climb a mountain because it could snow and rain
you might slip and fall a few times, and it may cause you pain.
When you climb a mountain do not do it alone, bring someone you love with you
someone who will sing you home.
When you climb a mountain you may decide to quit.
You might throw in the towel and have yourself a fit.
But do not worry, because you can climb once more, just be sure to
keep positivity at your hearts front door.
When you climb your mountain, and make it to the top,
your heart will jump with joy, and it may never stop.
When you've climbed your mountain, and now you know you can
you will be much stronger and wiser than just any man.
Once you've told your story, and the night dose grow dim, you will
lay your head on your pillow, and god will let you in.
He will tell you how proud he is of you,
And he will heal all of  the pains your mountain climb has caused you.
Just remember this when trials you are faced:
The lord his waiting at the top of the mountain open arms for your embrace.
