Size doesn't matter

~~^~~

The courtroom sat in silence as if issuing a dare,

a mountain and a hillside told each other to beware

The judge was in his chamber with the deputy in charge,

they couldn’t hear the little hill claim it was very large

A ticking clock was counting as the minutes slowly passed,

darkened by the shadow that the mountain’s girth did cast

Things were getting very tense, the temperature did rise,

as the mountain and the little hill compared each other’s size

Suddenly from in the hall another did appear,

walking through the courtroom door and it was very clear

All the people turned to look, the oohs and ahs did sound,

for there they saw a valley that made all of them look 'round

The valley said in echoes “What’s the meaning of this fight?

It matters not how big or small, it doesn’t make you right

I wouldn’t be a valley if this mountain didn’t hide

and not without a little hill there on my other side

I need you both to get along so everyone can see,

how beautiful we all become with you two here with me”

The mountain then said to the hill, “I think you’re very tall”

And in response the hill replied, “And you’re not oh so small”

The three of them then went outside, the people wore a grin,

for they could see the beaty formed by nature once again

 

 

there is a moral here…

Thanks again my friend. Yeah, now I am giving personalities to mountains and valleys. Before long they'll think I'm crazy around here. : ) Just a crazy idea I had. Thanks for reading.

I’ve done that with other things like trees etc or I even did objects we not crazy we are curious and inventive I’d rather be quirky than normal lol

We are each a part of the greater whole, one no more important than the other. We are one. This is great narrative storytelling, and I enjoyed it very much.

Thanks you Linda. I was just having a little fun with a crazy idea here. I think I wrote this a few months ago but wasn't completely satisfied with it. I found it in my notes today and made some edits and I think I like it much better. I am happy you liked the outcome.
And you are right, that is the moral of this story. We are always better together.
