Jacob’s Ladder

 

There is a ladder we each must climb,

splintered and broken a perilous journey along the way.

Each rung looks steady, an easy choice to make . . .

Will you be like Jack, catapulted to a castle in the sky,

or bash your dreams upon a ceiling

fraught with shards of glass, unperceivable except to the most intuned?

False promises made, directions changed,

a victim of circumstances more than choice.

How many choices based upon choices other’s made?

 

Will the next step be perilous, covered with moss?

The next brittle and broken, fragile and battered with age . . .

Will your legs be strong, built on a foundation of love, truth and God

or will they falter, a pretence of strength?

Will your hands grasp out helping others along the way?

Will you leave your mark upon the world?

 

When you reach the top will you look back and say it was all worth while?

Will friends and family gather and say “here lies a real man”

or will you just pass through this life, a mere grain in the sand?

Life seems so easy as a child but life is hard.

Many loves are lost both family and friend, but we must all climb that ladder.

In the end, all loved will be together again.
