For granite.

Solid stone, immovable and strong.

Steadfast and permanent.

But no one dreams of cold hands

and a dependable heart.

We look for silk and softness,

desire a soft touch

and a sweet taste.

Disposable dreams,

that flit in and out,

and end.

Names forgotten or unknown.

Leaving the granite hearts

with anniversaries embedded,

to weather the storm and rains.
