When I was tiny, two mountains protected me

In the valley between them

Forces of nature pushed upward

The hill of myself rose tall and strong

I became part of the chain of mountains

I joined another mountain

We formed our own valley

And more foot hills sprang up

But I still looked to my mountains

Appreciated their beauty and strength

Eternal forces of earth continued

Foot hills rose to my height

Became part of the greater ranage

Looked to me as I looked to my mountains

Thought about founding their own velleys

Not even the strongest rocks last forever

Time shakes the mountains I took for granted

Cracks widen in the weathered cliffs

The day they crumble and wash to the sea

They will become a new layer of sand

Generation upon generation

Layer upon layer of mountains long gone

The solid foundation of bedrock beneath my feet

With stregthen my base

To continue my place in the range until I become sand too
