Yo, listen up, here's a story...

There's a friend I know, who was in distress
Who still required a whole lot of care
What he needed was warm n' loving caress
And his dad ran off--to who knows where?

He's not your typical dragonlike guy
Mostly because he's hard as stone;
How he can exist, only God knows why
And he just hates being alone--

Literally a statue, only seven years old
And everything seems a wonder untold
And he'll squeeze you to death, to have and to hold...

On living life, this guy is sold,
He'll bear with it, be it hot or cold;
He's still quite green, and easy to mold--
But I wouldn't want to change him now...

His body is rocky yet warm and alive;
It's still a wonder how he can survive!
And get to know him, a truth will unfold:
His body is stone but his heart's of gold.

this makes me feel pain for that child.  this is beautiful. to have that hope again,  that hunger to love. you must have volumes of masterpieces waiting to be hung.

  Beautiful and touching.. You're right, a heart of gold does wonders.. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND
