And Now The Time Has Come For two weeks I've had one to go and now the time has come to put one goal. behind me for another has begun When I started the DPS in the winter of '85 I didn't think I'd finish with 23 peaks class 3,4,6 Or 5 Yes, I was timid of exposure (I still am, as a matter of fact) but my good friends coerced and cajoled me and lead me from the pack And I had a grand time trying climbing peaks throughout the West From Ruby Dome to Big Picacho It's hard to pick the best And all, the wonderful campfires that we'd set ablaze each night Then we'd cozily sleep in our down sacks until the early light Yes, it was often of bitter cold (and lack of sleep) that we would awake to at the dawn as we struggled to get ready before the announcement would come.,"On.On' Oh, I have such delicious images of the peaks and the good friends It is with a touch of sadness that it will all come to an end For I have accepted a new job a job that th fun and new I'll work Monday through Friday Yes, I'll work the weekdays through |
But I work PM's, 3 to midnight, and the trailheads are far away There's no time for sleep, no time at all Thus the sorrow and dismay I'll be forced to bag peaks nearby and complete my San Diego list So my dear kind friends I leave you with this Holiday wish I wish you hope and happiness throughout the coming year Many Season's Greeting Peace on Earth and Good Cheer |
