A Mouse Or A Mountain

Growing up, I was the runt of the litter. My siblings called me Cute, because I was the youngest one. It was very hard growing up as a little mouse, gray with tiny white spots. I saw myself as big as a mountain, then felt that mountain move inside of me. Growing and learning is what I did, then one day I was all grown up. I wondered, where would the world take me? I found myself living on top, yes on top of a mountain. I am no longer the runt, I am no longer called Cute. Living on top of this mountain, is my home. The mouse and the mountain, now has become one.

I'm so happy for you, my friend Paula, and who better than you to reach that top of the mountain, each of your poems you post, one better than the last, you have never been a mouse, a sure mountain that was waiting to be conquered. I foresee a win. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
