That Mountain

Scott Whitby, 2023


That mountain was so far

It was so tall

And it was covered with clouds

But it was all I saw


That river was so wide

It was so deep

And it was covered with ice

Its dangers all asleep


That prairie was so flat

Wind was so cold

And vermin were everywhere

With fangs so sharp and bold


That mountain is so close

And still so tall

The trail pass is so narrow

But the clouds are all gone


That mountain was so far

It was so tall

And it was covered with clouds

I never really saw


That mountain is mine now

I see the path I came

I can only wonder now

Will Heaven be the same?
