Edelweiss and Reindeer

The edelweiss that grows on the mountainside,
A papal white and star like in appearance,
The beautiful mountain flower of Austria,
The reindeer, like god's sculpture come to life,
The handsome singer feeds them and a love
 and care for reindeer guests,
He wears his handsome ski sweater and slacks,
A dimension I am learning to comprehend,
1 like the learning experience with excellence,
The mountains majestic and domineering,
A country, Austria ,that I learned to love,
Skiing a way of life, miracles from God.
