As scared as I was, I remember climbing my first mountain. Then there was a second That wasn't as demanding. The third one was a task Because it was much too rocky to be easy, And the fourth one was intimidating As much as it was frightening. The fifth one was intriguing And the six was the most humbling Experience up until then. The seventh, I thought, would be my last one But alas, I'm climbing an eighth mountain.
I fell in love Climbing up the first one, I took a chance Climbing up the second. I knew it wouldn't be easy But I took a chance with the third, And I wanted to go higher And higher after the fourth. I wanted something different From the fifth, And I very much enjoyed The smooth scaling of the sixth. I was too careless Thinking I had enough experience for the seventh, But I learned my lesson, And not taking it easy on this next trip
