Against all better judgment than my own,
I'm going to try, even though I'm alone.
My kit is packed, my hands are steady,
Finally now, I feel so ready.

Aboard the plane I start to worry,
Perhaps I rushed, there is no hurry!
But remember my dream, I dreamt so well,
My face says it all, it's clear to tell.

Words of encouragement pass my mind,
As they weakly accept that adventurous bind.
You wont, you can't, you mustn't even try,
What if worst finds you, you may even die.

Calm your minds and accept the fact,
My life so far, excitement has lacked.
I need to do this, do this I must,
If not in me, in God please trust.

And so I stand here, step one to be stepped,
Aghast what's to become, inside I wept.
But climb I dreamt so climb I will,
After all, it's just another hill.

Months of work and breaking pain,
At last the mountain knows my name.
It just goes to show, no matter your health,
Though others mightn't, have faith in yourself.
