FallingUpward
~ Falling Upward ~

My knees are bruised, my clothes are torn,

my face is scratched, my shoes are worn,

but I have something warm and real

from ever falling up the hill.

I know not why, and yet for sure,

some things there are we must endure,

and though I stumble I have found

it's always upwards, never down.
Each heartache always brings a bit

of greater humbleness with it.

Each disappointment we must bear

is but a storm to clear the air,

and so as days go rushing by,

I do not doubt or question why.

The stars are getting closer still...

as I keep falling up the hill.
