A Steep Rocky Eminence

A steep rocky eminence 
Is too tough to climb; 
One will feel the glory 
After the hard and trying time. 

A steep rocky eminence 
Expresses the Lord's power; 
It speaks of His mighty hand 
That truly works wonder. 

A scar in an area of high ground 
Is so difficult to reach; 
One will tread on the rough roads 
To learn lessons that they teach. 

A scar in an area of high ground 
Is near the vale and hill; 
The eyes of the beholder 
Are filled with so much thrill. 

An isolated or protruding rock 
Replenishes the thirsty soul; 
Knowing that God created it 
Amazing and beautiful. 

An isolated or protruding rock 
Is a beauty of nature; 
It feeds the poet's mind, 
Bringing him spiritual pleasure. 

A bare place the trekker has found 
Is on the mountainside; 
The wind whispers softly, 
As the moments pass and glide. 

A bare place the trekker has found 
Gives him hope and ardor; 
The clouds above the valley 
See the climber's vigor. 

Not covered by plants and trees, 
Serenity surrounds the land; 
Quiet yellow rays above 
Are made by the Father's hand. 

Glorify the Almighty God, 
Offer praise to the Providence; 
One can lift his voice 
Even in a steep rocky eminence.
