I am a mountain

I am a mountain 
I am heavy and solid as a rock.

Trees grow in my soil while animals lay on me,
I am bold but soft, smooth but rough.

I cherish my soul and let others make homes,
Even though it hurts.

I am tall and thin but I help others.
I make life and homes for creatures that are small but tall, chubby but big, and long but thin.

Even if I start to crumble and fall
Even if I fade away,

I will stand tall.
Taller than ever to keep things living,

If I wasn't here now all of the living things that are living on me would have no home,
Or would die, and could even get hunted.

I must stand tall even if things get rough,
I won't give up or crumble up.

I will do anything to keep these creatures alive,
Even if I have to give up my life.
