Strong as a Stone

Strong as Stone

Sometimes I wish I was as strong as a stone
for a stone's strength is immeasurable.
However, on second thought a stone may be strong,
but it does not feel, nor does it ever move.
The stone may be strong, but does it ever face the trials?

I think I would rather be strong as a heart.
Yes, hearts are attacked with illness, and they are prone to being
broken,
but a true heart goes out and tries, feels
whereas the smirking stone remains unchanged, proud of it's great
fortitude.

A stone may gloat of strength, but the heart is the real goliath for it
has endured pain and continued in the world, gone in again though the
perils are clear.

So I say, though the danger is imminent,
I choose not the impenetrable, static strength of the stone,
but the touchable, dynamic strength of the heart.
