The King And The Stone
A wise old king was asked one day,
while sitting on his throne...
“Of all the gifts you’ve been presented
why cherish that little stone?”
The king looked down at the stone in his hand
then smiled lovingly...
“A little boy walked a hundred miles
to give this stone to me.”
“But it’s not a diamond...not a pearl,
it’s not covered in silver or gold.
It’s just a stone, my liege,
what value can it hold?”
“Even a king’s life can be confusing.” he said.
“And when I find myself adrift..
this little stone reminds me
the journey is the gift.”
