Ode to the Mountain Man


Contributed by Robert Jaro (a.k.a. The Old Mountain Man)

The call of many mountains,

Was one that he must heed;

Ne’er a day went by

That they spoke not.

 

Come be with us and

Walk our slopes -

Gaze upon our beauty;

We will always be here

awaiting you.

 

When the winter snows clothe

Us with their blanket,

We still call you.

When the days are short

And the air is chilled

We still beckon and greet you.

 

 When summer is nigh and

Our blanket departs,

We await our mantle of blossoms

That grace our slopes.

Our beauty is eternal and our

Call is always there
