Mountains, how do you stand so tall?
I have tried so hard to stretch my neck and straighten my back, yet still, I cannot stand as tall.
You get the first dusting of snow.
The clouds hover around your peaks and dance among your valley’s, which always seem to drop so low.
The wondrous heights that one must climb to get to the tops of your highest peaks, takes such great efforts for even the strongest ones around.
You have yet to show weakness, which is something I also am trying to learn.
How do you just sit there all day and all night?
You must get a bit tired of not moving.
Oh mountains, you bring so many hills and valleys.
Each spring you bring us water, as the snow melts and flows down your strong mountain sides.
Thank you for your strength and determination to stand strong and tall all day, through the many years of your life.
How do I show you gratitude for I am so, very grateful to you, even just for your incredible beauty and each rise and fall of your peaks and valleys.
You truly are majestic, each beautiful part that makes you, you.
-M.
