A Moment On A Mountainside
by John Strid
A blade of grass pushed by the breeze
Leaves on the branches dancing with ease
A mountainside trail tranquil and serene
With pines so majestic these trees of green
Find a moment stop and reflect
All of life’s memories one must respect
To live in a moment on a mountainside trail
Cast aside your worries you will prevail
The birds fly free, flowers so brilliant
So we push on, we must be resilient
Although our effort no reward we seek
Strength is measured be the humble and meek
So blemish not the scenes we create
Visions of beauty, pictures so great
Where love and harmony can be at its best
With serenity and peace so we can rest
