was she foolish...did she try?~

nov. 22,

she and her family hoped into their truck



and headed towards the mountain side



with their hopes held high of finding some snow

and wishes at hand from her fellow friends



they traveled along

higher and higher they climbed

on a road far less traveled

until they stumbled upon a place ever so grand



a place high up in the trees

so far away from any other

they stood alone

in the quiet of this day

their littles cried out

its here

can we stay...can we stay

in a moments time

our truck was parked

and all were getting bundled up

she turned around

to see a papa and little already sledding down

now one older could not resist the ride

and as he sailed on down the hill

he yelled from behind

"are you coming...you said you'd try"

she said she'd try

and so she must

she grabbed her board

and blessed it with the feel of snow

oh how long it had been

one older came back up and said

 i'll show you how

with a gentle ease he smoothly glides

her l♥ve came up

to buckle her in

and grabbed her by her hand

he walked with her

this here hill...oh it looks quite small from the picture

but once you get to the middle

it drops and you go flying

till he no longer could

she felt his hands release one by one

and soon screaming could be heard

she screamed

and she laughed

and

then

SHE FELL

but this time was different

she was able to walk again

so she pulled up her big girl britches

and tried again

was she graceful as the swan that lay on her board

by far not

but she was up

alone this time

giving it another try

she fell not once

she fell not twice

oh she fell and fell

but she kept getting up to try and try

admist all of this trying and falling

she realized she was going down

on the wrong foot

so a different direction she turned



what a difference it made

she continue to fall

and her littles came to the rescue each time

but she was able to pick herself up

and walk again

what a day full of lessons and blessings

she realized

what a natural her oldest was at being a teacher

for he guided his mama like no other has

the roles being reversed

as i his mama  became the learner

and through his words and encouragement

 i was able to keep going

but i as their mama

showed the valuable lesson

of never give up

no matter how many times you fall

you will never learn unless you try again

so was she foolish for trying???

she feels she was not.
