Rock On

It sits there, not moving
No, never to sway
A symbol of strength
That won’t go away
Unwavering, undaunted
It may be short, too
But, it still serves a purpose
That we must hold true

A foundation for many
Irrigation yet, still
Decoration for yards
While some roll down some hills
Some may be flat
While others are round
If you drop in the water
They will make a sound

At a time, they were pets
With names given, too
Gibraltar has one
While quarries make due
It describes some great music
That will just never die
For they’re pieces of earth
That can reach to the sky
