He Died Climbing

Life is a mountain to be climbed,

Unknown, mysterious, difficult. . . .



Experience the challenges and triumphs of life in this personal collection of poems by Donald L. Norbie. You'll empathize with the struggle, but rejoice that God has a plan and purpose for us all.


Press on

To the summit

Where God waits

To welcome His weary climber home.
