Ascension to crest the summit
takes efforts borne not on wings.
Gradual progress is needed
steady plodding steps.
~~~
Lessons need to be learned
control must be applied.
Discipline and self awareness
are keys to progress.
~~~
With time my goals will be met.
By embracing the challenge
the task will seem less arduous.
~~~
Belief and faith can lighten my burden
but friends and family can only lend a hand.
In the end it is my road alone,
my steps to take.
