Old man mountain...

I sat there trying my best to think of a way to let my son know about the feelings of young men and ladies. I couldn't for the life of me think of a good way to put it. Then it hit me what I was called by a passer by at work one day. With a slight breeze moving my long gray beard, a gent drove past and called me old man mountain. I just kind of nodded then, and never thought much about it... Till now.

What I am about to write, well, it's for all men. From the young teens who are just now starting to date, to the older men, married or starting over. It's the way I see it, and the best way I know how to put it out there.

Lets start off with us guys. We are what you could call a mountain. For the most part, were bold, rugged, and are in all shapes and sizes. One can not really move us, we're to stubborn for that. You can change the landscape with a bit of trimming, but it's still the same old mountain. The part that men are like a mountain comes full swing when you step on it. Yes, you might leave a foot print, but other than that, nothing really changed. Us guys know what it is like to be walked on, dug up a bit, even shoved around a bit.

But let's take a look at the ladies now. I like to think of them as a flower. Like a mountain, they to are in all shapes and sizes, can be trimmed, even transplanted. But you can not step on that flower without damn near killing it. See, if you step on that flower, it gets crushed from the weight of your foot. If its not killed, it's damaged. It might still grow, but not the way it was intended too.

Guys, I guess what I am getting at, is watch when you step, you never know what flower you are going to damage in you walk through life. Always tread with a light foot. Look before you just plant your feet firmly on the ground. And that my friends, is the way I see it
