I shall become a rock, quarried out of the earth. I shall be hard and weather worn. I shall be a solid foundation upon which you can build. I shall be steady in the storm. Though the wind blows upon me and the cold and heat test me, I shall be the corner stone. On my sacrifices and trials others can build. Upon my accomplishments they can rise above and beyond. I shall be the pavement stone upon which another can walk. I will be the rock on which they can climb higher. To all who seek to surpass what I have done and create a better world, I shall be a foundation stone.
