The better path uphill
Is a winding road;
Going left and right;
Ambling ever upward;
Swinging far across,
Then around and higher;
More a waltz up
Than a climb;
The side roads
And the byways
Making the journey
To the top
Not only picturesque,
But easier than
Heaving straight up.
And the going back down
Is more a dance than a fall,
Even a tumble
All the way home.
