Diamond Mountain

Diamond Mountain
stands so tall it
protects us like
a great big wall  

Diamond Mountain                                                                                                     shimmers in my eyes
The icy layers go up and up
It looks like there isn't a spec 
of dust
 
Diamond Mountain 
you sit there so peacefully
your the watcher that stands
above me   

Diamond Mountain
you have so much history
you've  being  through two                                                                                          horrid wars and still rest easily 
                                    
Diamond Mountain
you got so angry that day
you killed every living morsel
that stood in your way

Diamond Mountain
you are so great you
want the whole world
to see you get your way

It must be beautiful! To cneter your poem you put the sign above the comma, then the word center, then the sign above the period..on the keyboard. All this before the first word. After the last owrd you put the sign above the comma, the sign below the question mark, the word center, and the sign above the period, hen the whole poem will center! Light & Love
