Touch The Sky Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I search to climb the mountains,
To do to seek to reach those peaks.
I search to climb the mountains,
The ones I'm told impossible.
I search to climb the mountains,
To do to seek to reach those peaks.
I know the bottom much to well,
It's my time to rise.
I want to,
Touch the sky!

Why live a life and not be seeking,
To touch the sky.
Why live a life and not be reaching,
To touch the sky.
Why pray for hope and not have faith,
To touch the sky.
Why live a life and be afraid,
To touch the sky.
Why wait until it's much too late,
To touch the sky.

I search to climb the mountains,
To do to seek to reach those peaks.
I search to climb the mountains,
The ones I'm told impossible.
Why live a life and not be seeking,
To touch the sky.
Why live a life and not be reaching,
To touch the sky.

I search to climb the mountains,
To do to seek to reach those peaks.
I know the bottom much to well,
It's my time to rise.
I want to...
Touch the sky!

Why pray for hope and not have faith,
To touch the sky.
Why live a life and be afraid,
To touch the sky.
Why wait until it's much too late,
To touch the sky.
Without a making one attempt,
To try.

I...
Search to climb the mountains,
To touch the sky.
I want to make an attempt to prove...
I can try.
I...
Search to climb the mountains,
To touch the sky.
I want to make an attempt to prove...
I can try.

On mountaintops I'm going to do that hop,
To then touch the sky.
I'm not going to stay on the bottom to believe I can not,
Touch the sky.
On mountaintops I'm going to do that hop,
To then touch the sky.
I'm not going to stay on the bottom to believe I can not,
Touch the sky.
It takes an effort that's effective...
To touch the sky.
It takes effectiveness with effort...
To touch the sky.
And not give up on attempts to even try.
