Rock- Poem

It was a rock
Ignored, thrown around
Useless and unknown
Often disregarded
By the grass, the trees
The sun and the moon 
But it was a rock
Just a rock
Still a rock 

It was rough
Not pretty, or smooth 
Or needed by the elements of nature 
People would look at it, and turn away
Some would pick it up
And throw it far far away 
But it was a rock
Just a rock
Still a rock 

Through time, 
It travelled the world
It saw things, many couldn't see
The pain of the beggars 
On a cold winter
The happiness of street dogs,
Nipping on bread 
The thirst of a sparrow 
Battling a drought 
The hope of a child, 
On a Christmas morning
It witnessed
But it was a rock
Just a rock
Still a rock 

Through time,
Things changed
Storms raged 
Life reveal death 
And love ended 
With a goodbye 

The trees disappeared
The grass wilted
The sun and the moon
Were covered by clouds
But it was a rock
Just a rock
Still a rock 

It was stronger 
Than the trees
Harder than 
The grass 
Much more constant
Than the sun and moon

Through time, 
It became smaller
Scattered all around the world
Each peice held a memory 
But it was a rock
Just a rock
Still a rock 

And that rock
Survived through 
Everything that passed 
It was proud 
To be a rock
Just a rock
Still a rock
