[Jan Leitschuh]

Ha!
Dawg, that's just what I said. I told him he was channeling Hallmark.

It's The Friendship Poem by Sandra Lewis Pringle, I googled it.
(I've hiked with the guy, so I know his poetry doesn't run along those lines ordinarily).
;-)

I sent it back to him in Chinese, told him it was for our 2012 Chinese Wall Thru-hike - the 10 year anniversary of the Long Trail hike, soon to be immortalized in print (yes, it's true).

Chinese version:

如果我能留住彩虹
我将只为你一个人挽留
在你感到忧伤的日子
与你分享它的美丽

如果我能建造大山
你尽可把它当成你自己的
体验宁静的空间
独处的地方

如果我能带走你的烦恼
我会把它们通通扔进大海
然而我发现所有这些事情
我都无能为力

我建不成一座大山
也留不住彩虹的美丽
就让我做你最好的朋友吧
永远与你相伴
