All Things Change

Across the valley the mountains arise
Miles in distance but near in my eyes
One foot forward, one step closer
Nearer my God am I, nearer to who am I

Faced at the base of the mountain
An inevitable climb
Dangers and turning points
Decisions, potential mistakes, scrapes
But we do what it takes, we ascend

Breath getting weaker as the air gets thinner
Legs aching as upward we move
Heart beating harder as the chest constricts
Blood flowing boldly as addictions are kicked

Nearer to the top
As attitude altitude adjusts
Strength and fortitude become one
Into our self we begin to entrus

From the peak we admire the view
Of magnificent valleys and lakes so blue
Represented by nature is our life in the raw
Without the signage and banners and flaws

So clean and serene a peaceful place we have found
On a plateau of commitment and of growth
Satisfied that we have finally reached the crest
Until our eyes see catch sight of the next mountain top

For our journey is not one that ever sees end
Unless you consider stasis as your friend
For we constantly strive and value verity
And take the next challenge with gusto and clarity
