The Ugly Pebble
Gazing upon the long and winding path of life
One may find an ugly pebble that causes strife
Jagged and mossy, the rock seems out of place
One has to fight the urge to move it from its space
But when looking at the path from a wider stance
One can see it has been placed there by simple chance
For the ugly pebble can do nothing but be compared
To the hundreds of thousands beside it unimpaired
(dedicated to the one "ugly pebble" in my life who is not only insignificant but also, as of
today, impotent)
