Analysis of Move a Mountain
Melita Catalina Warren 1949 (Kansas)
Raindrops enable a rosebud to thrive -
Reach out and touch my hand.
Let us realize that for which we strive -
May we on a firm foundation stand.
Happy thoughts magic gardens revive =
Life's full of variety, hardly ever bland.
When one unwinds, gets out of 'overdrive'
On loftier ideals we shall expand.
Watch bumble bees thrive in their hive -
Come sojourn into a dreamland.
We discover true love, at last, arrives -
Our union transforms into something grand.
This impinging mountain in our lives
Soon slips away like flimsy sand.
