I heard him say
I love my scares anyway
They happened over there
And now i carry them everywhere
A war is what its meant to be
A place filled with tragedy
Both sides feel its pain
Is it fair to say its like falling rain
Each drip is like a day gone by
And now we face the mountain high
Together in this icy place
No tracers here to sting our face
No - no bullets on this mountain top
As we size up every drop
Each in his own time
Like over there we tow the line
Strength comes from knowing
It can always be worse
Like the desert sands we once traversed
What we once thought to be weak
Has now become our greatest peak
To reach the top of Everest
Ironically the name itself
spells out the human quest
If only there was ever rest
It is as St. Augustine was once given to say
'Restless we will be till we rest in thee'
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
Has now become our greatest peak To reach the top of Everest Ironically the name itself spells out the human quest If only there was ever rest .. if only there was rest..... the name speaks for itself. tony
