If I climbed a mountain
Would it be enough
To prove I’m worthy?

If I poured my soul out to you
Would you use my words
To hurt me?

If I come off as vulnerable
Would you take advantage of
Things in me that constitute real love?

It is highly unusual
Possibly improbable

But if I sailed three oceans
Would this suffice
And stimulate approval
For human sacrifice?

That give & take permissible
For a foolish heart to do
Honorably to honor
How deep I swam & climbed
 And fell for you
