You're a Rock

Born with an attitude, headed down

Whispers that said no, no, never a crown

Primitive scribbling on a weight bearing wall

But, you are a rock made to weather it all

============================

Chip off the old block meets with a frown

Angelic rebellion stirs the pot nix the clown

Blue eyes that dodge the medicine ball

You are a rock made to weather it all

============================

Dark water seeps in enough to drown

Venom tongues the talk of the town

Tall tales spun in an illegible scrawl

You are a rock made to weather it all

============================

You and me name a common noun

Don't fit the mould of another's gown

Crumples an invitation to the ball

You are a rock made to weather it all

============================

Step on tears that lie dead and brown

Old foliage enlightens a path to renown

Catching each other should we fall

Love is a rock made to weather it all

============================
