Rising high
Above the green valleys below,
The tall majestic mountains
Paint their own pictures.
Capped by the late winter snows,
They resemble painted castles.
Hidden from the eys of humans
It's untouched beauty
Cries out...
With whispering echoes.
Behold...
The beauty you see will soon disappear
And a new beauty will unfold
So is your own life...
As one season ends
Another begins
So it is with wisdom...
It grows every day
Creating new beauty.
So let your minds expand
Into mountains of knowledge
That will forever live as memories
Just as the snow that melts.
For Beauty and wisdom...
Are what makes life beautiful.
