Desire in his heart
Yearning for more
The top of the mountain
He would explore

Looking up at the peak
With a pounding heart
The voyage would be hard
He just had to start

Which he also knew
Was the hardest part
To take that first step
Straight ahead like a dart

A solid foothold
He clawed and he gripped
Beginning his ascent
Up the steep jagged cliffs

The cold wind of life
Cut through his clothes
Sweat dripped from his brow
To the tip of his nose

Nothing would stop him
On...
