The Decency of Being A Mountain

I have been here on this planet for longer than Jesus Christ's existence,
Even before the dinosaurs took over the reign.

With earth be the mother, tectonic plates be the father,
Together they created me and my other siblings.
Some are like me standing upright and tough,
Named the Mountain, by you human beings.
Some are flat and friendly, be the Ground.
Some are fluid and tolerant, be the Ocean.

With rain be my wife, together
We bring about plenty of trees, flowers, and grasses.
----------------------------------------------------------------­---------

Ground provides you a home, where you get to settle down.
Ocean provides you weather, so that you won't ever get bored with this planet.

And I, as the Mountain, I provides you challenge.
Whenever you feel like going on an adventure
I'm here for you.
I don't especially love the content though.
I just want to write the title.
