This was inspired by a friend's sharing of a special place for him and upon research, learned of how many people call this dear mountain their home.
Pine Mountain Prayer
Won’t you take a roam with me
Wander Laurel Branch Holler
There’s so much to see
Oaks have grown even taller
Over forty of my years
I have walked this mountain land
When the sunny season veer
Holly and mistletoe in hand
Between seasons fall and spring
There’s a bit of magic in the air
What a gift that she brings
With her Pine Mountain prayer
Pine Mountain has a prayer
She whispers in your ear
Everytime I go wander there
There’s something new to hear
Some days I read the gospel
Some eves I stare for stars
Far away and thoughtful
On this mountain side of ours
Cardinals and wrens watch if
A passerby should toil
A pine sprung from a cliff
Adorned with ribbons, shells, tin foil
Pine Mountain’s in my soul
As I go about my day,
Praises to extol
So blessed in everyway
Pine Mountain has a prayer
She whispers in your ear
Everytime I go wander there
There’s something new to hear
This prayer of Pine Mountain
Carries me everywhere
No matter the place I’m in
I have my Pine Mountain prayer
