Apex

There's many ways up a mountain and many ways down.
When you reach the peak where it kisses the clouds, that's the holy ground.
If you climb your own mountain and wish to reach the peak,
remember this most of all watch the path that you seek.
No matter what life aspirations you wish to have stay grounded most of all.
For to run and try to catch a star you'll be sure to fall.
Only jump as high as your mind will let you go,
keep one foot on the ground and the path will begin to show.
We should all believe in something it doesn't matter big or small,
we should all love one another and Peace should be our call.
All alone many of us try to reach that holy ground,
but with love from friends and others it can easily be found.

Stanley Victor Paskavich
