unlocked the door

with the secret key

climbed way up high

into the secret tower

with

the kinders

up and up and up

the

spiral staircase

with

 stone walls

tiny windows

brave hearts

and 

a wondrous view from the top.

—

“a well-ordered life is like climbing a tower;

the view halfway up is better than the view from the base,

and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands.”
