In attempts to reach out for the future, <br /> shrouded by life's better ways, <br /> when all are released by the bondage of youth, <br /> ... we search for life's new better ways. <br /> <br /> In attempts to hold on to the past, <br /> fore - shadowed by things that must come, <br /> we vainly perceive of the answers, it seems, <br /> ... and find none, when everyday 's done. <br /> <br /> No mountain worth climbing, <br /> has ever been conquered... <br /> no matter how steep or abrupt, <br /> without first starting out at the bottom, <br /> ... and working your way slowly up.<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/attempting-too/
