I am a Rock. Call me Peter.

February 6

I am a Rock.
Call me Peter.
Verse that's free,
Or with rhyme and meter.

They fear my shine
Because they know
That they themselves
Should also glow.

But long before,
They damped their coals.
Forgot their dreams,
Instead made goals.

They expect the world
To be like them.
And when it's not,
They can't pretend

That they know not
What time it is.
They know the game,
And it is His.

We all now are
In the final quarter.
It's time to fly,
Said the Crane's Daughter.
