Happy Birthday Sharon!

I hope you have a wonderful day today, and don’t let those grandchildren work you too hard, lol. I hope Todd and the kids are feeling better after their bout with the flu.

Grouse Mountain – As Strong As She

I wondered as I saw her there,
Majestic beauty, unaware;
How could she know the hearts she’d stir,
Within her realm of virtue pure.

Her past though long, as glaciers reigned,
Cut deep impressions that remained;
And yet through all her strength and might,
This beauty rose through endless night.

She stands in awe of all who see,
The force that lights her energy,
A glow that brightens with the years,
To shine above the cloudless tears.

A thousand eyes may see her grace,
An imprint left without erase;
A view to warm the coldest heart,
Impressions that would n’er depart.

I wondered … as I saw her there,
Her beauty touched by mountain air;
Her face alight by sunset’s glow …
If she knew why, she’d touched me so.

Alas, she may not understand,
The lives she’s stirred upon this land;
Though thankful, I will ever be,
To know a friend, as strong as she.
