Four stones I hold in my hand
Unable to tell which one's best
Search high and low in the sand
Forever might not be the best
These four stones are not alike
Some are big and some are nice.
But why can't I choose which I like?
Maybe because none is vice.
I like this first stone for some reason
Maybe it's hard and smooth at the same time
Rarely it shines with the season
But it's still beautiful may it be a crime.
The second stone I recently found
It's very round and looks nice
The music it makes, the lyrics, the sound,
A masterpiece I call it, Oh what a sight.
The third stone so very dear to me
I found it far from where I am
Still unsure we may forever be
Like a beauty from a stem.
Lastly this stone, I've known for years
The first stone which caught my attention
Stayed with me though it gave me tears
Still got me thinking all of those questions
I've collected these stones through my life
I've never thought I'd be selecting now
Through thick and thin, or even strife
Oh life, should you allow?
Young and fresh I may ever seem
To pick one stone out of the four
Little experience from every scheme
Give me some time to explore
What the world may offer
So I can see
All the beautiful stones together
So I could let go of all the three.
