Climb 'Til Your Dream Comes True - Poem by Helen Steiner Rice
Often your tasks will be many,
And more than you think you can do.
Often the road will be rugged
And the hills insurmountable, too.

But always remember, the hills ahead

Are never as steep as they seem,
And with Faith in your heart start upward
And climb 'Til you reach your dream.

For nothing in life that is worthy

Is never too hard to achieve
If you have the courage to try it
And you have the Faith to believe.

For Faith is a force that is greater

Than knowledge or power or skill
And many defeats turn to triumph
If you trust in God's wisdom and will.

For Faith is a mover of mountains.

There's nothing that God cannot do,
So start out today with Faith in your heart
And 'Climb 'Til Your Dream Comes True' !
Setting of place and time
A sunset shining on the mountain
The shining of the sun would be a calling from god to tell the believer to be strong and have
confidence throughout their entire time.
