Masterpiece

It was I who was once a block of stone The finest of marble i was told. His gaze would last for hours As i waited to be created. Then came the day when he started chipping away Only he knew what i was to become I was his unfinished creation As yet known to none. Many days passed My soul already there He gave me a body My full form soon to appear. I stole a glance of myself in a mirror My face gently touched by moonlight I looked soft yet gallant An interpretation of perfection. There i was complete Soon to be put to the world A marvel made for display For all to see. He stood gazing at me I could tell he was pleased My creator,a genius Another mark on history. Crowds stood in awe At my magnificent reveal I was named David My destiny then sealed.
