Looking out from the mountain so high,
Storm clouds gathering, in a once calm sky.
Gathering strength; the winds fearful sound,
Thunder and lightning flashing all around.

Heavy rain falling, now turning to snow!
Darkness descending; which way to go?
Mother Natures cruel savagery in full flow,
Fearing my demise, all alone in the snow.

In the distance, a glimmer of light!
Shadowy figures coming out of the night.
Mountain rescuers; hope and salvation,
Angels in red jackets; a standing ovation.

"The Mountain Rescue Crew" God bless you.
And may God watch over every one of you.
So many lives saved; at the risk of your own,
You came to my aid, when I was so, so alone.
