I have a very special spotted rock,
It’s oval shaped and smooth all around,
My solemate found it on Elba at a home on a bluff,
She gave it to me with a smile to keep safe,
I carefully carried it across the Atlantic in my pocket,
It was so precious I never let it out of my sight,
Then one day I lost it during a pandemic,
When it slipped through a hole in my pocket,
The special spotted rock was no where to be found,
I looked for it relentlessly but it was lost for eternity,
The love of my life then slowly retreated away,
The twinkle in her brown eyes when she saw me faded,
She no longer radiated love or affection in my direction,
She has since drifted far away, into another man’s arms.
