Ascending
I climbed the mountain
But he ascended
As I watched in wonder and awe
With him he took
All of my worries
And hurts and sorrow and more
Every bruise to my soul
And mistake I’ve made
Rose high on the warm air
All my wrong steps
And every tear I’ve shed
Floated upwards till they weren’t there
He took them all
To be with him
And for angels and saints to see
When he had gone
What he left behind
Was plain and simple: me
