Climbing
by Melissa Minners
Climbing…climbing…
The hill keeps getting steeper.
The longer I walk,
The less ground I gain.
What will happen
If the grade becomes too hard to climb?
How much longer
Before my determination falters?
Clawing…scraping…
Sliding down the hill.
I keep on climbing,
But the slope is steeper still.
