Analysis of A HILL (Poem #39)
A hill can take you up to a wonderful sight,
Or can lead you back down so fast you have fright.
On the other side you can meet with such pleasure
So much Joy and happiness too much to measure.
The struggle on up can make you grow stronger,
The quick way down, you may want to be longer.
Life has its thrills and chills with its ups and downs,
Into a world full of challenges we bound.
So as you struggle on the way up, you can,
Think of the glide down with an exciting land
