Jeep

If I was a jeep
I will climb every mountain
no matter how high; how steep
no matter how stiff; how deep
I will wade on; strive spot on
and break and take
and shake and stake
all i got to succeed
in this bumpy ride of life
with waves and tides
that I can go against
that I can grow amongst
I will get spare tires
firm pumps to stand bumps
I will glitter in the metallic
to create a brand
I will avoid the sporadic
to make a stand
If gravity rares it's head
on the mountain top
I will clip it's presence
and birth a stop
if life dealt you a hard blow
ready; steady and blow back
if the mountain too high to reach
ride strong and make a mark
an imprint of the road to apex
that you may have a tale to tell
to posterity and all; a story to sell
but first is the success
the last lap of progress
If I was a jeep
