Climbers Reign

Climbing is good
for the soul
it lifts your heart
and cures your whole.

To push yourself,
all the way to the top,
an achievement in itself
whether or not you stop.

Climbing is wonderful,
a way to lose yourself.
Everyone should try it:
be you giant, dwarf or elf!

So forget all that bothers
at this very instant
and go climb a wall
before you start to rant.

It won't 'drive you
up the wall', to quote,
it'll make you think
of something else. Float.

So float away
in a sea of bliss,
feel the power:
It does exist.

Tired and happy
this is a nice pain,
As you stumble outside
Amid' the wind and rain.

And so you have been
climbing once again.
Stronger, Betterer,
Faster, Climbers Reign.
