Big and tall was the mountain before me,
Rising from the depths of the blue sea,
Overhanging above the wide, wide earth,
Teetering about its own huge girth.
How I longed to reach its peak and
Eye the world and all its land,
Rivers and valleys, the hill and the plain,
Downs of Australia,plateaux of Spain,
Everything that stretches across the shore
And goes on for miles and miles and more.
Rolling blue oceans with their waves so high;
Yearned I to view what lay far and nigh.
Oh so high and higher I would go,
Up above where the fleecy clouds flow.
All of a sudden crashed over me a
Realization that was so very bitter:
Early in my youth, when I was full of life,
When I knew no worry, no struggle nor strife,
One accident had I, forget it I shall never;
Now it has left me maimed and crippled for ever.
Down poured my tears without hindrance,
Even as I saw someone looming in the distance.
Right up to me came he, holding out his hand,
Flashing a smile at me, he helped me up and
Up the majestic mountain he led me. A
Light of hope was he; I call him Brother.
