Rock On

It sits there, not moving No, never to sway A symbol of strength That won’t go away Unwavering, undaunted It may be short, too But, it still serves a purpose That we must hold true A foundation for many Irrigation yet, still Decoration for yards While some roll down some hills Some may be flat While others are round If you drop in the water They will make a sound At a time, they were pets With names given, too Gibraltar has one While quarries make due It describes some great music That will just never die For they’re pieces of earth That can reach to the sky
