It's Just a Rock
Settle deep in the creek as the waters consistently flow
Where the crawdads hide and upon which algae grow
A stepping stone as the children run to the other side
It’s just a rock, without feeling and no sense of pride
A stone was used by David when Goliath fell to the ground
Not a word could it say: with no voice; not even a sound
But it conquered the giant, with the blow to his forehead
It’s just a rock, simply found on the floor of a creek bed
Each stone in its place as the architect builds the wall
Placed into the mortar to make the most beautiful of all
Homes standing out in neighborhoods with array so grand
It’s just a rock, bearing such beauty in the master’s hand
Picked from the earth as father and son play on the shore
Throwing atop the water to see whose would skip more
Creating laughter as the family watched while they play
It’s just a rock, But, it’s so much more; wouldn’t you say!
