MOUNTAINS TO CLIMB
      By Billy Burden

      Some days I get tired of  fighting it all,
      The more I seem to try, the more I fall.
      And as I study my accomplishments in review,
      I realize they've been rather few.

      No wonder I ask myself, "Why struggle today?"
      "Why not give up?"  That's the easy way.
      But the universe's architect, in His infinite plan,
      Designed a challenge to make a man a man.

      The stumbling blocks of life He placed in our way,
      Are merely stairsteps to success each day.
      So when I feel like quitting next time,
      Let me remember, God made MOUNTAINS TO CLIMB.
