they lie there silently, scattered on the ground
each one a story, a journey, a tale
in their ancient whispers, secrets they unveil
tumbled by the waves, polished by the sea
these pebbles bear the marks of eternity
each one a gem, a unique work of art
carved by nature's hand, a piece of a heart
some are dark as night, others light as day
colors of the earth in a brilliant array
they've witnessed the tides, the storms, and the sun
ages come and go, but their beauty's never done
a comforting presence, they soothe the weary soul
as the ocean's lullaby continues to roll
in their simple existence, there's a lesson to learn
to endure and shine, with grace and patience, they yearn
so next time you find a pebble on the shore
hold it in your hand and let your spirit soar
for in these humble stones, there's wisdom to glean
pebbles, like life, are more than they may seem
