For @Anokas13

When you walk
Be careful where you trod
Watch your feet
Hold your head up high.
Ignore the buzz of problems
Dismiss the wind of despair
Keep on your path
Slow and steady, step by step,
You'll reach the peak of your mountain
Before you know it.
Though the trees above
May blot out the sunlight
And bring your spirits down
Notice how the leaves are not perfect
They let light filter through
To guide you on your way.
Though there seems to be silence
Listen closer -
Hear the birds sing
And the crickets chirp
Along with the rustle of the fox
Each one, reminding you,
That you are not alone.
The path is rough
Full of rocks, steep slopes
No one said the climb through the woods
Would be easy
But every step is worth it
Every ounce of energy a victory
This is your battle,
This is your struggle
Know the goal is high
But the reward is sweet
Like climbing a peak to see
The sun set over the world.
