Everest
~~~
Oh, the wind-swept, lofty summit
That calls men to their death
Prayers offered in frozen breath
~~~
What magic be upon your peak
What treasures there, ripe and rife
That want to know may cost a life
~~~
Standing at the top of the world
Rare ground that few have trod
To look upon the face of God
~~~
For each there is something
Some great promise in the sky
And, for each, their reason why
~~~

I cannot imagine how hard a decision that must be for each to make, and each for their own reason .
Might look good on a resume though. Thank you, Beth!
Everest, Face of God, Death. Big concepts put me in awe.
Thank you, Geoff!
