I am a Mountain

I am a Mountain
by Angela C. Orlando

I am a mountain.
Look up, and marvel upon my majestic beauty.
I appear as a massive structure of nature.
I was created from towering pillars of sheer strength.

I am a mountain.
My peak rises high into Heaven.
My spirit is strong and mighty.
People gaze at me with wonder and astonishment.

I am a mountain.
I am indestructible.
No force can ever knock me down.
I survive thunderstorms, blizzards and whirling winds.

I am a mountain.
My surface may slightly crumble, but my inner core never changes.
Fate can try, but I can never be moved off base.
This is where I was meant to be, so this is where I always will
be.

I am a mountain.
Forever, I shall exist.
I will eternally be remembered for my grace and fortitude.
Come behold, the vigor and power that is me.
