If I was a Mountain…

I could see everything. People would look like toys. Cars would look like tiny dinkies. Maybe I could see the Eiffel Tower in France, the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal in India, the Niagara Falls in Canada, the Statue of Liberty in the USA, and the great barrier reefs in Australia. The whole world would look like a map. With one peek, I would see many clouds, if I was very high.

But sometimes I don’t like to be a mountain because it does not go to heaven or hell. And mountains never go to parties either. I am just fine being a human being, Alhumdulillah.
