Climbing the Heights

In these remaining moments that march on by

In these remaining moments that march on by
May we savor them you and I
For we know not how long we live
Before we die

Yet still these moments pass us by
These pleasures await
At every turn
Some new found wonder
To whisk us away

Seasons change from gray to green
And as we look on all seems serene
Yet pause awhile in this open space
Gaze in and full on this view

Though you must leave it behind
Remember oft there are many a moment
In which one finds
Treasures that lie beyond every bend

With eyes illuminated wide and full
To gaze at the glories beyond ones control
Indeed a beauty surpassing us all
Hath given life to each one so small

So wrap thy fears and sorrows and tears
In the warmth of the wondrous new day
Spring hath come and washes away
All the doubts that plagued of yesterday

-Joshua Lee Foist
