A Stone

Here I sit
Solid in form
Exposed to the elements
Never being born

I wait to be found
And put in a pocket
If cut I won't bleed
I may be a locket

In search for nothing 
I'm not alone
I'm beautiful inside
Outside I'm a stone

People pass by me
They never stop
A child picks me up
Into a basket I drop

I sit in a room
'Til one day I'm touched
The feel of a hand
Never meant so much
