The Mountain Teaches 
​
The Mountain doesn't bend or sway,
It waits for you to find your way.
It doesn't ask if you are scared, 
It only waits to see who dared. 

Step by step, the climb will teach,
That nothing worth having is easy to reach.
Your breath will burn, your legs will ache,
Yet every move is a choice you make.

And when you stand where eagles fly,
You'll know the truth that meets the sky-
The climb itself is the prize you keep,
Not just the view from the mountain's peak.
