These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Climbing the Precipice

The days ahead seem high, and steep.
I wonder can I reach
the top of this great precipice
to learn what He would teach.

Why do these days of paths made new
seem fast without a break,
while climbing up the precipice,
so slow the holds to make.

New jobs can seem quite tough and raw,
until you learn the ropes,
and climbing up the precipice
is hard. On top are hopes.
