MOUNTAINS--award winner

MOUNTAINS


Mountains tall and sparkling white,
Talking to the skies;
In day time you are so bright,
Dazzling to the eyes!

When dark, you stand like giants
In a gray attire.
Even from a distance you
Instant awe inspire.

Lightning, thunder, hurricanes,
Earthquakes come and go.
You are always firm and staunch,
Rooted in earth so!

You are like a bridge between
The earth and the sky
Your majesty, both of them,
Does truly defy.


Covered with pristine snow pure,
Not a spec of dust.
You are His own creation.
Bow to you one must.
