"Write a story or poem that uses ladders as a symbol"

_____________________________________

Oh, for a ladder tall and high

I could use it to climb to the sky,

Reach for the stars and pluck a few

Sparkly and shiny, to give to you.

If I had a ladder long and tall, 

I could climb without a fall

Gather the clouds, fluffy and white 

To weave you a dress, soft and bright

if I had a ladder tall and strong,

I would catch a few birds of song,

They would sing of joy and sorrow

Songs of sad past and hopeful morrow

A simple ladder, tall and steep,

And over the earth, I would leap;

The colours of the rainbow I would take

A crown of jewels, for you, I'd make.
