Rock and Roll

You are my rock, I am a pebble in motion.

I am flimsy and flippant, you a picture of devotion.

You are massive and solid, I am frivolous and shallow

You protect and defend me when I am naive and so callow.

You are my rock and confederate, I am a loose end.

You never cease to amaze me, my rock and best friend.

I take you for granted, you silently care,

People may talk but it’s no love affair.

You help me get through the day and my fads tolerate

I moan and sound off but you never berate.

You are my rock, a flawed diamond like me.

You are south, I am north. You plan A and me B.

You are my rock, I am a stone sinking fast.

I am mercurial and erratic, you reliable and sure.

You have saved me my bacon when I pig out so immature.

I probably forgot, it might have slipped my mind,

In all likelihood you mistook me for being unkind,

So ‘Thank you for being there and all that you do,

Thank you for being there and for just being you.’
