Up upon the mountain

A little child lies

Her face is covered in tears

She knows soon she will die

Her mother always taught her

Never give up hope

And without these thoughts racing in her mind

She could never cope

The icy rock she lays upon

Is too high to ever climb down

Her ankle is twisted and broken

She looks across and frowns

She has called out across the mashes

For a friend or stranger true

To pick her up and dust her down

And come to her rescue

But she knows now hope is fading

In her little tiny heart

She prays for all the people

But before she starts…

Here comes a walker

Who while travelling the hills

Spots a little darling child

All tired and cold and ill

His friendly face smile over hers

And asks her "want a hand?"

Slowly, she nods he lifts her up

As he starts down the mound

Her mother is in tears of grief

As she hears a knock at the door

She grips the cupboard on the side

As she walks across the floor

She opens it quite slowly

But still she hears the knocks

She stands upon a chair

To do those really high up locks

But as she finally opens the door

Her face splits in to a grin

Because there is her darling child

All cold and tired but smiling

So as the mum and daughter hug

We end this happy tale

Don't worry everything is all right

With the girl a live and well

So everyone remember

How ever bleak life seems

There is always a glimpse of hope

How ever small it gleams
