Life is like climbing a tree,
It is very hard.
There are many paths you see,
always have to keep your guard.

Some go through life with ease.
For others life is tough.
The days you have to cease,
because the going gets rough.

All have the same goal,
to reach the very top.
If you get there you're in awe.
If you don't you drop, drop, drop...

Some get there because they were born not to cower.
Others with ladders and rope.
But few get there with shear power,
conquering with pure heart and hope.

It doesn't matter how you get there, or how far you go.
How you determine success is the only thing you need to know.
