Passage of the week

A Poem by andrew mitchell

He who finds
the stairway to heaven
must not take the elevator.

There’s always a down side
when climbing a mountain.

If you hear the word Timber!
you are climbing
the wrong tree.

An avalanche
is just nature’s way
of telling you
you are on the wrong path
so turn back.

Where you are going
it’s much warmer.
