What Do You See?

by Rhonda S. Rossier

I see the mountains before me...

I can see the flowers and trees;

The blue dome above...

But mostly I see the mountains...

I need to learn to smell the flowers,

Climb the trees,

Reach for the sky;

And not just stand in awe of the mountains

As life passes me by

Life is more than just mountains to climb.

It's valleys with hills in between,

Grassy knolls to lie in,

Meadows of wildflowers to run through,

Babbling brooks to cross on stepping stones,

Cascading waterfalls to splash in,

It's moonlit nights for walking,

With stars in the sky,

A rainbow after the storm has passed.

It's the people you meet,

The friendships that grow...

Like sweet scented flowers along life's road.
