The Rock
I am rigid but secure.
I sit along side a path
Having a view of the glistening pond.
I see people walk by,
They come and they go.
But there is this one girl,
Who’s different from the rest.
She is young and genuine,
Her blue eyes show a sign of comfort.
She is one out of many that sit upon me.
I see her looking out
Daydreaming about life.
I hear her mumble words under her breath,
Like asking questions,
She’s looking for answers.
This girl,
She always has a smile on her face,
Like something amazing as happened here,
Like she knows there is still hope.
She holds on, and keeps going.
The girl lets out a sigh
As she gets up to leave.
While walking away
She turns with a smile on her face.
And that’s how I know she will be back again.
