Rock to a Child.

A look through the eyes of an innocent.

Clear running water,

A mountain my home,

My life century long,

My owner a gnome.

A rock to a child,

Peaceful and blue,

Rough to a point,

A pebble to you.

I really like this, Thomas. It seems very much about perception and how it differs from childhood to being an adult. A pebble would be a pebble in an adults hand, wouldn't it? To a child, a huge and heavy rock. I very much like this analogy. Nicely written, my friend.

This is very nice. We see through different viewpoints. A rock to one; a pebble to another.

Great poem. It reads like a riddle, and one that I cannot solve at that. Just a simple rock maybe, and yet so intriguing to a child, while adults see nothing but a pebble.
