Your beauty comes and goes
A cycle we all know
Steadfast in where you stand
Grounded into the land
For years you stand so tall
Making us feel so small
Helping improve our air
Can't help but stop and stare
Highest peaks of earth
But deeper than we see
We hardly know your worth
Yet waste you carelessly
I wish to see you stay
To harbor all this life
But others would betray
And this fills me with strife because
Your beauty comes and goes
A cycle we all know
Steadfast in where you stand
Grounded into the land
For years you stand so tall
Making us feel so small
Helping improve our air
Can't help but stop and stare
