And she whispered back, "I will, thank you."

I am strong and solid...majestic. Situated in the countryside, unassuming yet imposing, I am here to protect life, your life.

I will shelter you; keep you warm when it is cold, cool when it is warm, and dry when it is wet.

We will share laughter and tears, celebrate birthday's and holiday's, honor moments of life and mourn moments of death. 

My space will allow you to find peace and to pause; seek solace in an ever chaotic world.

I will do all of this for you, even when I begin to crack, creek, and sag; and all that I ask is that you remember me. 

And she whispered back, "I will, thank you."
