Our One Stone

Our One Stone What is one stone good for in this life Who knows what it becomes too many To some one stone can be a loving memory Of happy times on the beach with your loving wife Others see it as a thing to throw Into that beautiful calm sea To have that perfect flat one for skimming So they can score the most number of bounces Some will view one stone as a tool to meditation To get to that place we need to relax And unwind, to be at peace with ourselves That we might be calm and rejuvenate We might see it as the one we keep in our pocket That helps us through our stressful day The one we grip in times of intense moments And we consider it to be our lucky stone One stone we never throw away That will hide in the back of the draw Till we find it in there again To bring back those memories to throw 4-11-17

Mary I have many stones at home, some as you say bring back memories, some I hold for meditation, but my favourite is a heart shaped stone given to me from my children. An enjoyable read on the humble stone!
