Ladder to Heaven (Syrian boy mother)
Syrian war
walking in my neighborhood
help a boy
the ladder was five levels long.
The fear in dreams of climbing high.
also had my left hand completely occupied with an extremely heavy, long metal rod.
it was hard and I lived through every second/climbing step of it.
When I was almost at the top, maybe five or six steps left, the mother on top reached down to take the rod. It was too dangerous. And I #decided for myself, to climb the remaining steps from hell, triple the effort
#determanation #pride
