Mountain Peaks
Standing atop a mountain
Gazing at worlds below
Amazed at the heights climbed
The years it’s taken to arrive.
Mountains surround us
All of our own making
Rocks, cliffs and crags
Paths both easy and hard.
The trails sometimes steep
High and difficult to ascend
In places, smooth and flat
An easy stroll.
Slowly they stack up
One on top of another
Creating a pinnacle
Attainable by only you.
Comprised of dreams, memories
Fears, pride and emotion
Held together with a bond of Love.
Impervious to the weathers of life.
When my daughter was born
I saw a double rainbow
I thought I was on top of the world
Little did I know, I was only taking my first steps.
Looking down I see another
A mountain like mine, smaller
But growing quickly.
My daughters own mountain of emotions.
