As the mountaineer up the mountain ascends,
Traversing the path that he will have to descend.
At the sight, an ordinary man
Would have shuddered.
Up hills and pitfalls, All a part of life.
Whether it is easy going or only strife.
Sometimes an obstacle comes in the way,
Sometimes it is smooth going all the way,
Lifes ups and downs add to its totality,
Lending to it an air of immortality.
