We climb mountains and buildings
and risk everything - well, some of us -
for what?
For achievement? For a good story to impress girls?
For pride? Because no one else has?
No,
it must be something more.
We climb into spaceships and airplanes and
elevators
to be higher than anyone else,
to see things that have never been seen,
and to be further than anything
than anyone
before.
We climb to improve, to live, to love,
and because up is unlimited.
