I looked and saw a mountain,Could not see the peak,

I thought I'd try and climb it,For a way up I would seek.

As I gazed upon this mountain,And planned my climb to go,

My enthusiasm began to waver,Could I make it, yes or no?

Sat there for a while longer,Afraid to start the climb,

My body said to try it,But stay was in my mind.

I now had such a conflict,One which I did not need,Which of my mind or body,Should I at that time heed?

Should I listen to my body?Which said, I'm strong enough,

Once we start the climbing,It will not be that tough.

Or should I stand and listen?To thoughts within my mind,What happens if you fail?And fall so far behind.

Just gazing at that mountain,I knew what I must do,Must get my mind and body,Thinking as one, not two.

I decided at that moment, There was not time to waste,

Had to make a great decision,And proceed with utmost haste.

Should I decide to climb that mountain,I surely then must chase,My way directly to the top,Beginning at the base.

Or should I instead take option?To stay on level ground,

I still had to reach the other side,By simply going around.

I could not stand just stagnant,Not knowing where to go,

So I prayed for just a moment,For my Lord the way to show.

I then made my decision,On which route I would tread,I used neither thoughts of body,Nor thoughts within my head.

Instead I simply chose,To do what seemed so right,And strode into the distance,

Towards whatever was my plight.

Then as I took my first steps,It no longer seemed so clear,For that mountain I had been watching,Just seemed to disappear.

I did not stop my striding,Although confusion was so rife,

Then suddenly became so clear,That mountain was my life.

I could stop still no longer,Simply wondering what to do,

For longer that I waited,The more that mountain grew.

Yes, our lives are just like mountains,We can no longer hide,When the climbing gets a little tough,Just ask the Lord to guide.
