one lived his life broken and alone,
another took a knife and carved his message into his own
the third skipped along cascading over cascades,
the fourth found a home in an empty shoe
a fifth took himself from the earth to the moon
the sixth was a tool used for death and defeat, sharp in itslef, sharp enough to cut meat
and the seventh was found a thousand years ago by a monk with no hands who gave the stone a throw
it landed in a field to make a seat for all time as people would come and wonder how the mountain grew so tall in such little time

*my sister, she's 4, asked me to write about stones so its a little cheezy but it made her happy*
