Keep Climbing

Author Charlene L. Morris

It may be rigorous, but refuse to give up.

The climb you are not aware of until you reach the top is the one that almost took you out.

The climb comes with moments of wanting to give up.

Who knew the climb could be so rigorous?

The pain, the heartbreak, and the loss are all felt as you continue to climb.

Life can knock you down, but when you realize staying down is not an option, you get back up and continue to climb.

The mountains will come, and some will come with a vengeance.

A vengeance that leaves you breathless and doubtful as you consider if it’s worth the climb,

Deep down, you are aware that if you stop now, that will be your end.

You may want to reflect on how far you have come, but don’t do so for too long; you may miss the climb ahead.

There will always be a battle between giving up and going forth, but true faith lies in the climb that will take you to the top.

This mountain will not defeat you, no matter how many times you may have to get back up.
