A White Stone

In a world full of brunette bumpy stones
It takes only the heavens to
Offer one a stone that is pure 
Like that of the undying love of a Pigeon

Bold, white and untainted, of a stone
Rare but found at the seaside 
Of hope, love and patience
A Fella indeed
Indeed, a Fella in need

As we part, not depart
My spirit will linger on in your bosom
Bidding farewell to the precious one
As precious as a white stone
