Who knows?<br>
Maybe the rock knows,<br>
Sitting diligently on earth,<br>
Not flinching from cold snowstorms or baking heat.<br>
O rock,<br>
How much I love you:<br>
You are the only loveable one.<br>
Would you let me grow a little flower of love on you?<br>
If you don't mind,<br>
Maybe I could grow a pine tree on you.<br>
If you are so generous,<br>
Maybe I could build a house on you.<br>
If you are fantastically generous,<br>
Maybe I could eat you up,<br>
Or move you to my landscape garden.<br>
It is nice to be friends with a rock!<br><br>
