The majestic mountain's calls out to my sensitive soul. <br /> "Come home, come home, come "please"! console". <br /> Hear the stories of the days of old. <br /> Some stories humble, some stories bold. <br /> Hear about the forgotten lore of pioneer's centuries past! <br /> Their hopes, their dreams, their hard won tasks. <br /> Of building a nation on honesty, integrity, faith and love. <br /> Has all been disregarded like a worn out glove. <br /> "Walk down my trail's the pioneers once tread." <br /> "With loyal compassion now long time dead!" <br /> "Their love for God and Country and humanity they shared!" <br /> "Still to this day their brand of leadership remains uncompared. <br /> See where many tall strong trees once stood. <br /> Now destroyed and gone! "Caused by nothing good!" <br /> Like reposed promises made centuries past them the future has forgotten" <br /> "But their stumps remain for us all to see both charred and rotten.<br /><br />Carla Jean Laglia Esely<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-quiet-repose/
