Stone Poem
It's on loan from the land for our short visit here
We gather and stack it, so crops will appear
It Keeps in our stock, and defines what we claim
A stone is a stone.....by no other name
It becomes our foundation, and won't rot or decay
And doesn't need water or food every day
We bring it inside and build fires in its place
Then enjoy and keep warm, by its strong and weathered face
It comes in all colors, without paint, peel, or paste
And to hammer or sand it would be such a waste
For its beauty still lies in its natural state
Be it granite or limestone or green mountain slate
We drive on its surface, and play in its sand
Then carve out great statues like David, by hand
We build temples and castles, and monuments tall
Large structures of strength and the Great China Wall
So when you see a stone, be sure to admire
The pleasure it brings as you warm by that fire
Or when you see a stone that makes you feel good
Perhaps a fence in the field, or a wall in the wood
Give thanks to the men who were laying their claim
To the land with the stone.....by no other name
