The Long Climb

Climb, climb and climb again,
just to be knocked back by ten.

Reach the top to stumble and fall,
"Heh" I say " Don't we all"

So I climb, climb and climb again,
just to be knocked back by ten.

Reach the top to catch my breathe,
Freezing myself half to death.

So I leave down for a rest,
thinking to myself this is not the best.

Climb, climb and climb again,
this time though I will surely win.

Reach the top as I stand there proud,
only to fall back to the ground.

Climb, climb and climb again,
just to be knocked back by ten.

Reach the top to sit and smile,
knowing now it takes a while.

Penned by my hand on the 3rd of Aeguary, in the year 719 AF.
