Mist floats high upon the cool gray sky
Stillness broken by the red hawks cry
Dawn breaks slow in the mountains cool
Dewdrops form into a pool
Mountain laurel blooms fill the air
A Nuthatch sings without a care
Clouds float across like peaceful dreams
Brook trout play in cold clear streams
White pines tower, ferns carpet the ground
Sheer rock faces with waterfalls abound
Day lilies reach for the sun through the trees
Blackberries, muscadines, and honeybees
White tail deer run free and play
Black bear cubs sleep all day
Grandfather Mountain reaches higher than most
Cross her bridge and you can boast
Appalachian Trail runs through its heart
Through the Blue Ridge Mountains from its start
Breathe taking beauty for all to see
The lord and his handy work will ever be
