Climb up the mountains
by starting with hills -- great lines, my friend.
This has such a positive tone; today I needed a read like this. I think that all too often we, as humans, tend to bite off more than we can chew, and then we become discouraged, but as you so pointedly stated, every day that we are breathing is a blessing. Well done.

Hi Rita. A beautiful write. Uplifting and encouraging. Skillfully crafted free style metered rhyming poetry which enjoy. Good imagery, flow and tone. Line to line transition and breaks are well done. Nice rhythm and use of enjambment. Good depth of feeling. I especially like these lines:
"climb up the mountains
by starting with hills ~
a stumble might lead
to some wonderful thrills" - this is a wonderful picture of encouragement and 'stick to it" to reach dreams. Good closing lines. Well penned and a most enjoyable read. Write on!
