Mountain Climbing
I sometimes wonder why she loves me
she thinks I hang the moon
and make the world spin around
I say things will be better soon.
She is of strong blood
she says it doesn't matter about mistakes
as long as we learn from them
anything good is worth the time it takes.
She is my strength in times like these
my little Tomboy, tough as nails
she says, "Mom, don't let 'em see you cry",
"chin up, smile on, hoist the sails".
She'll never understand how beautiful she is
refreshing like cool, crystal-blue fountains
she is purpose, the reason I continue
to brave to climb, each day, these mountains.
