My Mountain Poem by Shannon Hughes

My Mountain



My Mountain is unique
My Mountain is special
Always there, always there
Whenever I need help or
Support, my Mountain is there to
Lend me its mountainous
Compassion
You see, the difference between my Mountain
And people
Is that my Mountain will never “outgrow” me
Will never “move on”
Will never leave me
My Mountain
Will be the same for centuries
And centuries
And centuries to come
My Mountain has always been there for me
And always will
Because my Mountain is unique
My Mountain is special
My Mountain is my friend

My Mountain never rolls its eyes at me
My Mountain never walks away while I’m still talking
My Mountain always listens to me
And my Mountain doesn’t point and laugh when I fall
My Mountain reaches out its mountainous hand
And helps me up
Because my Mountain
My Mountain
Is better than any “friend”
My Mountain
Will never leave me
My Mountain is unique
My Mountain is special
My Mountain is my friend

And even now
Even now
Miles and miles from my Mountain
I can still feel
The care and compassion
From my Mountain
Even now
And I know
That if I ever run into trouble
Or if I’m lost or if anything bad happens
My Mountain will
Help me
Guide me
Comfort me
Because, you see
My Mountain is sturdy
And permanent
My Mountain will never
Never
Leave me
Never
And that is all because
My Mountain is unique
My Mountain is special
My Mountain is my friend

And as I peer through
The third-story window
Of my new school
On a clear, cloudless day
I see
Oh so faintly
The absolutely unique
Unforgettable contour of
My Mountain
And my eyes well up and
One single tear
Crawls down my face
As I remember what was never forgotten- that
My Mountain never leaves me
That my Mountain is unique
My Mountain is special
And, the absolutely most important fact
My Mountain is my friend
