I Lay Down These Stones

I lay down these stones And hope you will see I do this for you And what may one day be That I am always there And truly love you Worrying about you Is all that I do These stones have meanings This I did learn When you turn one over Progress is earned One stone means faith In what you can you do Count on yourself Make dreams come true The next stone means hope And all that I pray Is the man you’ll become With each passing day Some stones cause pain Since they show what you’ve done Don’t run away You’re never alone But most of the stones That I did lay Are there for guidance And light for the day Light in the darkness Is what I pray I can give this to you Don’t turn away Accept what you’ve done And change it from here That’s how you grow And then learn to care To care about those Who have been here for you Waiting patiently Is all that I do
