Poem: Lessons From Life

Looking back

To valleys once traveled

Not knowing where

The journey would lead

Made life a mystery.

Even on this mountain today

As I gaze upon ravines

And hills climbed

From the past

I breathe for a moment

Then continue forward.

Descending again I must

To a world full of mysteries

But at least I know now

The mistakes I have made

And will not be caught off guard.
