A Rock I'M Not
A ROCK I'M NOT
I might like rocks
But a rock I’m not
And I really like rocks
A really whole lot
Now rocks you see
Stand strong alone
No feelings to be
And no emotion
Lets rock and roll
On what this is about
I think you should know
And I won’t scream and shout
I may portray that appearance
To have the stance of a rock
I have feelings is the difference
So again I say a rock I am not
I know it takes so long for me
To get to the point of the matter
But I like to tell it descriptionally
That turns into a bunch of chatter
Each time with me
You hold me tight
And it seems to be
With all your might
Caressing me so dear
With all that passion
Your body so near
In a loving fashion
Then where I’m at
You put me down
Like a drop of a hat
You forget I’m around
I always wait patiently
For you to again pass by
I wonder if you think of me
Or if you ever even really try
With each little bit
I gave you a lot
You know I did
I’m not a rock
Getting little bits of you
Was always fine with me
I was totally satisfied too
More than dreamed to be
I didn’t ask for more attention
I gave you your space and such
But just a little consideration
Shouldn’t be asking too much
I’m not like some rock
To pass by and ignore
I will be treated not
Like that any more
I always dream as big as I can
And bigger dreams God brings to me
So I’m sure to have a wonderful man
Coming around the bend eventually
Now when it comes to that day
And I will not even have a notion
He will pick me up and take me away
To a level of true love and devotion
He will want what I’ve got
And I’ll be a gem in his eyes
He will see that a rock I’m not
Maybe something you didn’t realize
When I reach that moment
You and I will no longer be
So maybe appreciate the enjoyment
That you get with the little bits of me
I know I said a lot
But a gem is what I am
So a rock I am not
A big gem – ‘tis am – Tizam!
