The Ladder

Poem .....The Ladder

I built a Ladder
To climb high in the sky
To watch tops of clouds
Slowly passing by

Climb higher said a voice
Out of the Blue
You've much more to see
Before you are through

But I can't climb much higher
Will run out of air
And all those below me
Will stand there and stare

Keep climbing it said
And look at the moon
Your secret desire
Will look at you soon

I am so high now
My hands hold on tight
The Sun and the Moon
Now fading from sight

Keep climbing it said
The voice from above
Those stars up ahead
We're put there by Love

On higher I climb
Stars left and right
And in front of me now
Nothing but light

I step off my ladder
Into a World of white mist
Will I ever go back
Will I ever be missed

The voice became clear
Never to be stilled
Go back down
You've more ladders to build
