Lofty Mountains

Mountains grappled with earthquakes,
erupted like volcanoes,
affected by erosion,
but the lofty mountains faced agonies with smile.

Mountains confronted heavy rain,
crusted with snow,
endured the scorching heat,
but the lofty mountains tolerated all the odds.

Mountains have discerned glorious sunrises and sunsets,
dealt with the flood and droughts,
seen many lightnings strikes,
but the lofty mountains maintained persistence.

Even after facing so many hurdles in life,
the mountains still stand straight.
We the humans, have to learn a lot
from these lofty mountains.
