I've seen most, in the early spring of their years,
for a coming winter, weeping and shedding their tears,
scrawling sorrowful lines, grieving their pain and despair,
cursing the world for being itself, being insane and unfair,
"Tired just yet, fed up of life?" I say, "it's still a long way before,
rivers to row, hills to hike, and a stride on the sunbaked shore.
yet a puddle filled ditch is all you see and frown,
and say your shoes would get all muddy n' brown?"
I say "that's the same mud some kids may jump in for fun,
what's puddle for a tired travelling is an explorer's ocean,
watch the smiling buds by the road, and learn,
learn how they bloom with the dawn's rising sun.
imagine, imagine the view sublime,
a summit beyond this draining climb...
a carpet of forest beneath your feet, growing lush,
and clouds, a ceiling your hands can brush,
be it the steepest climbs, or a raging storm before,
nothing shall, may, or must, ever cease your soar,
for the summit is indeed a sight, a dream to die for ."
