The Old Man
By Cameron D. Tanguay
Written 2003 at 12 years of age

Down fell a face
Of a million years counting

The king of the mountain
And guard of the valley below

The last generation
The very last era

Never to see again
From Gods sculpting hands

“The mountains of New Hampshire,
God Almighty has hung out a sign to show,
That there, He makes man.”

Only memories will do now the justice
Of Gods great creation
Of the man who peeks out from the mountain,
The monument,
The icon,

The Old Man in the Mountain
