Our Family Valley

OUR    FAMILY   VALLEY

Mountains strong withstand the turmoil,
Protect our valley from the storm.
The river makes a fertile soil
And seedling trees can start to form.
The slopes are crowded with the trees
And their pine scent fills our valley’s breeze.

NOTE:
Moraine Lake in Banff National Park always  
reminded me of a family of father, mother, and children.
