As I travel through life I see the road leading forward, I view the mountain that touches the sunset. I work desperately to get to the top of that mountain, praying to touch the beauty that is placed before me. I climb feverishly, withstanding the obstacles, detours and pain that I must endure to reach the top. I fall along the way, but I fall forward still gaining ground. I have the bruises, abrasions, and scars to prove the journey has been tough. I reach the top and I realize it is only the top of a mountain. I gaze forward in disappointment when I see the next mountain that touches the sunset. I suddenly become aware that the struggle is still before me; therefore, I gear up once again for the easy ride down as it prepares me for the next climb, knowing eventually I will touch the beauty if I continue forward and keep my eye on the goal.
