Path of Endeavor

In these difficult times, we all change channels to meet our challenges. We are strong. We will become stronger. Appreciate what we have, especially each other. Mankind is there in time of need.

Do You Remember Still

1
Do you remember still our rocky
hill of childhood that had so captivated
and challenged us?

Its dark presence threateningly loomed
in our imagination at night
and its towering slope stood haughtily
in defiance of our wishes during the day.

And yet with time we grew stronger
and we made the difficult climb
up the hill. Such a daring act.
Yet we triumphed.

2
And as we stood upon the hill looking down
on some of the same
frequently roamed places of childhood

no matter how familiar they had been to us
they now appeared small or narrow
within the larger view.
