Summit Beckons

You aspired to reach the summit some day

You trudged on, lunged on, despite delay.

Your persistence paid off and one fine day,

The summit was conquered at last....hurray.

Once on the peak, you rest, you think

the path to the top, was'nt all blink

your family, your friends goaded you all along

the cuts the bruises were soothed by the song

which lady life whispered in your ears

occasionally though you were moved to tears.

Reminisces over, now lets start afresh

another summit is calling,

lets start the conquest

knowing it fully that one fine day

this summit too would be distant,

like the one you scaled today

But don't forget the ones you met

all the while

coz they r the ones who made

your journey worthwhile
