Rocks....
As a kid I collected rocks-
Fingering the smooth shapes
Stuffing them into my pocket-
Taking them home to treasure
Putting them into a glass jar of water-
Or lining them up on the window sill
Not knowing that in the future-
I'd find my perfect rock
A diamond in the rough......
My sweetheart-
My forever life partner.

ReplyDeleteI love the metaphors here and I LOVE that first pic of the leaves reflecting on the rock's surface. You two look like a happy couple :)
ReplyDeleteAww, so sweet. I like how rocks have evolved in your life, Kathe.
ReplyDeleteI too collected rocks from everywhere. I have them on shelves and in jars with water too!
ReplyDeleteBet he feels the same about you ... lovely piece!
ReplyDeleteThat was lovely Kathe. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI found mine too.
Have a terrific day. Big hugs. :)
AWWWW...how cute are you and your husband. I am a real sucker about those of us that found forever love. You two look beautiful together.
ReplyDeleteThat was really sweet! I think that first rock might be a little too big for your pocket though.
ReplyDeleteYep, one lucky (make that two lucky) people! You Rock!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you found your life partner. I did also but I think we're in the minority. Just lucky, I guess.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Kathy. I loved to collect rocks when I was a kid too--I even tried for a while to learn the names of different kinds and how to identify them (I think I gave up on that). And your forever rock--wonderful. I feel lucky to have one of those too.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet, great picture of the two of you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post! Sounds like you BOTH found your respective perfect rocks. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteaww, that's that's cute--"diamond in the rough"! I collected rocks when I was little too!
ReplyDeleteAnd he got a rock solid winner, too!
ReplyDeleteRocks do hold such beauty - especially when you find the perfect rock! So sweet!
ReplyDeleteRocking it all up, Kathe. Being solid rocks sustain longer.And the endearing one sustains the most. Nicely!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, A real gem in every sense
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so sweet. I assume your darling has seen this. Y'all make a lovely couple. I enjoyed the progression from rock to ROCK here!
