Life should be a journey in which each of us grows
to become the person who lives within our souls
experiencing
Life's wonders and thrills
Life's aches and pains
The world around us should be enriched by our being here,
made more beautiful by each of our individual strengths
More perfect in the eye of God
More graceful in the eye of Man
The power of the mountains instills within each of us the
strength to
climb our own hills
The rain from the Heavens cleanses our wounds,
heals our hearts and minds,
The sun pardons our errors
The birds share their joy and laughter
God in his way gave you to me to be
My Mother
And you have given me
The spirit of those who came before
The strength to conquer my own mountains
