Elbert

Elbert O Elbert
a mountain we did climb
seven men assaulted you
not in record time

What did you take from us
What did we find
What was the cost
We'll find out in time

They said it's a challenge
a Spiritual retreat
seven men seeking God
we all have sore feet

We came at you courageous
with determination and grit
for some the words linger
I could just quit

On the summit we celebrated
seven men now as one
each fought his own battle
a battle we all won

Elbert O Elbert
the tallest of all
seven men claiming victory
at the beginning of fall.
