Mountain Climber Poem by Dorsey Baker

He climbed up
The mountain all by himself
Now he is climbing back
Down the mountain
All by himself
Climbing a mountain
You see yourself coming closer
To the sun
To the sky
That's the beauty of climbing a mountain
As you climb
Higher up the mountain
The bottom
Is no longer in view!
Because you now
Have the top of the mountain
In sight!
As you climb back
Down the mountain you sense
The strength
Of the mountain
And you realize
That you will never in your life
Climb that mountain again
Because that mountain is
A mountain
That you can only climb once
In your lifetime!
