If I were not afraid of heights
I’d sample more of the world’s delights
And see much more from places high
The hills and valleys, sun and sky.
***
I look up from a place below
Where sunlight paints the world aglow
If I were brave enough to be
Atop a mountain, hill, or tree
Oh, how wondrous that would be
As from my vantage point, I’d see
More of this earth God gave to me!
***
Alas, I sit now, here with thee
And dream of being a lot more…
Free!
*********************************
Ohhh I am so afraid of heights. Years ago I had a panic attack on the bridge where I live. I travel that bridge a lot and out of the blue I had an attack. I also do not like to fly, and it’s sad because my husband wants to travel. I would rather drive to see the sites and views. Nice post. God Bless
Same here with all the above, my issues with flying stem from a plane mishap in 2011, now I have to give myself “the talk” to fly.
You have a wonderful poetic soul. Very nice Pene❣️
Thank you. Have a blessed day.

Pene, this is a lovely poem! Both the rhythm and the rhyme are very pleasing to the ear. Sorry you have a fear of heights. I tend to be claustrophobic. 🙂 Stay safe and be well! <3 <3 <3
Claustrophobia mips at my heels as well. In fact I have a post in the works.
Be blessed.
