Moving Mountains

There was a phrase my mother used to say

You can move a mountain when it’s in your way 

I thought it was a joke; indeed, it wasn’t real

who could move a mountain, much less a small hill


Moving a mountain seems impossible indeed

 But it makes you feel determined to succeed 


Mother put a task before us and gave us a goal

You start by using kind words to a lost, sad soul


Change the frown you see on their face

Watch kind words; the sadness erase 


you can move a mountain of their anxiety

Turn the frown into a smile for everyone to see


Nothing is impossible, not even a mountainside 

The trick is to use kind words and open your heart wide


That is how you move a mountain from here to there

your kindness turns a frown into a smile, showing them you care
