I was rolling along one day and met a shoe.
With a quick flick I jumped on board,
with no care of any direction to anywhere.
After a few miles we came to a crossroads,
the shoe turned right.
I jumped off and turned left.

After a few miles I came upon a horse,
so, I jumped upon its shoe,
with no care of direction.
We galloped along after a mile or two,
we met a blacksmith,
the blacksmith flicked me off the horse’s shoe
and said on your way now.

A while later along came a little boy,
he gave me a ride in his pocket,
it was a little bit cramp
but it was dry and warm,
we travelled together,
with no care or direction.

We came upon a river,
I don’t know why but the
Boy throw me into the river!
Bounce, bounce, bounce I went,
then to the bottom I slowly sank.
Now I lay at the bottom, drifting along
with current and swell. Sometimes!
Forward. Sometimes! Backwards.

Here I now lay with no care or direction,
maybe one day I will find a way,
to reach my destination.
Maybe I should of planned
my journeys direction!
With just a little more care.

Life if nothing is but a Rolling Stone,
A life… lived it will collect a no moss.
Sometimes we go forward.
Sometimes we fall back.
But we all will eventually become!
A Polished Event.

The bigger question is will you?
Shine or be Dull!
