Pebbles, Rocks and Mountains



Pebbles Rocks and Mountains

Pebbles Rocks and Mountains

Sometimes I feel like a pebble resting by the stream

extremely unique but one of billions it seems

My only purpose is waiting to be skipped lightly across the water

As a rock my travels carry me far being thrown across fields off bridges sometimes at stars

I view the world wide eyed risking being told Monumental lies

Living like the mountain not easily shaken

by insincere promises others may have broken

Thank you God for loving me so I continue to grow to know

I am strong like Everest/Kilimanjaro Whose body although bruised by the elements

still glows with beauty abound

Love joannie willlams
