My Mountain
All of my life
I have been climbing a mountain
And been beset often, by vast days of strife
I never quite reach the top
Yet, I keep climbing and I'll never stop
I have been fighting a battle
Sometimes with each step that I take
Fighting off demons with angels
While deciding what to keep or forsake
The vision of truth in my destination
Some days is so very unclear
Of which paths I should be taking
And of which paths
I should steer clear
No matter how hard this endeavor
Ever it shall become
To get to the top of this mountain
I shall persistently climb
Learning always
From all my mistakes
Until, my journey
Is done
All of my life
I have been climbing a mountain
And been beset often, by vast days of strife
I never quite reach the top
Yet, I keep climbing and I'll never stop
I have been fighting a battle
Sometimes with each step that I take
Fighting off demons with angels
While deciding what to keep or forsake
The vision of truth in my destination
Some days is so very unclear
Of which paths I should be taking
And of which paths
I should steer clear
No matter how hard this endeavor
Ever it shall become
To get to the top of this mountain
I shall persistently climb
Learning always
From all my mistakes
Until, my journey
Is done

We all have mountains to climb Neva. Some of us will succeed, some will give up too soon, and some won't try at all. I bet you will be one of those who succeed.
Neva you have amazing gifts; You'll climb every mountain you face ; look back, see what you have already climbed-
Wonderful poetry , wonderful woman writing;
