Poem: 'Any Size Stone' by Craig Michael

Any Size Stone

Craig Michael

I want to be a rock, any size stone,

Tossed in the river, Just to be left alone.

I don’t want to be a gem, Mounted on a ring,

I don’t want to be a jewel, Nor a precious gift for a king.

I just want to be a rock,

To Lay around,

And do my own thing.

Now if I could be a boulder,

I definitely won’t end up a paper holder.

Maybe overlook a town,

Intimidate people, by rolling around.

Hey! If I was a boulder,

Then I’d never die!

Just get older and older.

Yeah! Life as a boulder.

But I wouldn’t mind being a rock,

Any size stone,

To be tossed in the river,

And for once be left alone….!
