About Courage & Overcoming Fear

A senior climbing the wall for the first time

2022 Feb 9 1 min read

By Rosalind Ho (Canva.com)

I struggled to the top of the wall

Surprised that I made it at all

I felt the rush of this thrill

But I did suppress my squeal

Looking down, the view was surreal

Hey Fear, the feeling was but conjured

As I descended the auto-belay

My nerves were not frayed

I landed fast, firm, and tall

A smirk on my face said it all

Today, I had dealt fear a death blow

Tomorrow, all these walls would seem low.
