Started at the bottom
Worked my way to the top
Climbed the rungs of the ladder
Just to stand on top
Continued to strive
Learned the ropes over time
Arrived at the end
Just to start again
***
Started with nothing
Worked all day and night
Climbed many mountains
Just to see the sunrise
Continued my passions
Learned to follow my heart
Arrived at my destinations
Just to seek a head start
