Glacier National Park

No photograph can capture the scale or gandeur of this place, but here's a feeble attempt.

MOUNTAIN FLOWER:

I'm struck by the bravery of a Mountain Flower,
Whipped by wind for hour on hour,
Scorched by heat and frozen with cold,
Clinging to places where there seems no hold.

Head up boldly, round the clock,
Finding life in a barren rock.
In the midst of adversity, beauty rare
For those who look, for those who care.

Many such flowers live and die
And are never seen by a human eye
At least not closely, on hands and knees
Reverently there, midst the rocks and trees.

Today I saw a Mountain Flower
And I stopped and enjoyed for over an hour.
The dainty flower, the rugged rock,
And the rushing river combined to mock

The minor works of pompous man,
Though try as he might, and boast as he can,
For all his art, his skill, his power
He's yet to match a Mountain Flower.
