21 May 1982 hankie 10 I am a rolling stone Too bad, they say But, I think otherwise It is the rolling stone that reaches the sea, somehow I am a rolling stone An insignificant, tiny one You are bigger … and you are ahead Do not block my way Just let me pass you by If you find time to rest If the rapids are not strong enough to carry you away I am a rolling stone I produce no moss I am easy to hold … and easy to step on I will not slip from your hand Nor will I slide from you foot Pick me up, But please put me back gently to the water Step on me, but please do not kick me to the riverbank, or bury me by stepping too hard Just leave me here, to keep on rolling Until I reach the sea See you there … one day … * emie
