The man who climbed the too high tree

Once a man climbed
The tree they called Too High.
He began from root to tree
Trunk to branch
And branch to fruit.
Everyone watched in suspense
As he swung and gripped and struggled.
He reached for the ripe
Felt its warmth and texture
Extended his fingers and
Slipped and fell
Body strewn and broken
Bloody and blue
Everyone exclaimed:
I knew he couldn't do it.
just because people say this, doesnt mean you can't and just because you've fallen, doesnt mean you can't climb again.
When you finally find something worth climbing that tree, don't give up no matter what because even if you dont get it, its always better to see the fruit a few inches from you than from all the way at the bottom.
