No Matter What - Visitor's Poem

by Logan Bellmer
(Missouri, USA)

No matter how high the mountain,
Make your way up the trail with ease
To ensure you can make it.
No matter how big or deep the river,
Don’t swim across to the other side.
You don’t know how strong the current is.
Take time in building your bridge.
No matter how hard the times seem,
Or how good the times may seem
Always keep the ones who you love close.
Because you never know who might get lost
On their way up the mountain’s trail.
You never know who might get taken up
By the waters of the river below the bridge.
Cherish what you can for as long as you can.
