Your constructive comments are gifts to me. Mountains And Valleys High towering clouds stood tall in array As I beheld the sky. Each clearly seen And seemed majestically like a queen Amid the afternoon's late matinee! High soaring peaks, displayed that special day Mid the clouds, seemed to call me by its scene To pray: "Dear Lord, Who dwells midst the routine Of men and things, on mountain peaks I'll stay!" As I spied far peaks, in my heart I knew Those mountain valleys counted even more Than mountain peaks which number just a few. A lesson I learned, I dare not ignore And neither you.Each mountain peak's fair view Exists entirely by each valley's floor! |

BROTHER JOHN For every high there is a low For every low there is a high And I'm in the middle of the riddle. |
