Rocks Poem by Bryan Norton

I climbed a rocky hill one day
To conquer each gradation
My will became the strongest way
To match determination

I could have walked for city blocks
Without such irritation
But in the course of fighting rocks
I found my explanation

They say that rocks make rocky roads
And rocky roads are rough
For rocky roads and heavy loads
Make going very tough

But even when you walk alone
Through every huff and puff
You learn to conquer every stone
If you persist enough

When tribulations trouble you
Lake late-night cuckoo clocks
Experience will pull you through
Each time that trouble knocks

The obstacles we face in life
Are really building blocks
So if your life is full of strife
Go climb a hill of rocks!
