Poem: Higher and Higher

 

Higher and higher, they watch me climb

Never looking back, nor looking down

Aiming at the top, is all I do

Till when the sun has gone to West.

 

Yet I arose at morning sun

I pushed ahead, untiredly

They pray and wish, that I come down

Never granted, I mean their wish

 

Then on the road, obstacles came

To push me down, and see me fall

I stood my ground, and renew my strength

Up I jumped, and above them.

 

Over the years have I climbed

Every day and night, I never relent

Never coming down, that I have vowed

To keep my head up, till the hilltop.

 

So here I am, grateful for the height

So far attained, and yet to be

Because I know, one thing for sure

Higher and Higher, is where I'm going.
