Pike’s Peak

It was a grand journey!
Training all week, here now.
Gearing up to climb it.
It was so beautiful.
As we gazed up,
We were at Pike’s Peak!
We began to hike,
In the morning so cool,
Being there with friends,
Lost in Mother Nature.
Hearing only a car now and then.
As the trail weaves,
Here, passing that view.
Soon the terrain became rough,
We dropped our packs,
Some getting sick,
Common in high places.
We started to climb those boulders,
They didn’t stand a chance,
Then ahh! We were there.
The very few, there,
Who took the time, to climb Pike’s Peak.
