Dear Mountain

When you want something enough, not even mountains can stop you!

It seems I've lost the road again.
Oh, how careless of me!
I had one road to walk upon
and strayed off thoughtlessly!

I'll have to take another road
- a straighter one this time
I'll come equipped with better gear
to better make the climb!

It seems I've lost the road again.
How did I lose my way?
Dear Mountain, my apologies,
I have no time to stay!

This time I'll take a longer road,
narrower and steeper.
I'll keep this map closer to hand
And navigate by metre!

It seems I've lost the road again!
Dear Mountain I'm confused;
I've gone every single which way
but still come back to you!

I've tried to take the highest road,
and clamber over crags.
I've tried to take the longest road,
and tried the shortest tracks!

Dear Mountain I have lost the road
that takes me on past you
Is it over? Is it under?
Is it around or through?

Dear Mountain I must find the road
to let me soldier on;
I have no time to comfort you
My goals lie far beyond!

...

But what if I've not lost the road?
Dear Mountain, I must know
- was this all just a test to prove
I want the way I go?

Dear Mountain, are you on the road
to hinder or prepare?
I've learned and fought to pass you by
and done all that I dare.

You won't block my road, Mountain dear,
I'm stronger than you thought.
My wilfulness batters down
your barriers held taut.

I will build a road, Mountain dear,
to overcome your strife.
Dear Mountain, I must thank that you
made me strong enough for life!

Author's Note

Ever felt that life kept throwing mountains your way, right when you felt you'd almost made it? Well keep pushing on and don't ever let that mountain hold you back!
