Keep on Climbing

confident hearts

We climbed because we had confidence that the branches would hold us safely

We were confident that we had reached heights that only heroes could climb

We weren't afraid...we were confident that we could win any battle

We felt accomplished...we were confident we could do anything...we pushed ourselves to reach higher, run faster, rise to the occasion

We were free...we were confident the earth had no boundaries

Time was irrelevant...we were unincumbered by it...confident that we were masters of our minutes

We were confident in our imagination and our dreams and our vision of "when I grow up"

Never lose that confident heart, little ones. Don't let it happen. Regain it if need be!
