We all know, “Rolling stone gathers no moss,” 
And true it is, as proverb to us shows.
A little movement may test strength of bonds,  
The strength of roots, rather than merely gloss. 

“Who’ll run with you?” – just look and see, who cares?  
Who’ll hear your voice – when it’s too weak to call?  
Who’ll give you helping hand when all else fails?  
When walls come crashing down, who cares at all?

Mistake made clear – have they abandoned you?
Who is with you – step back, and see who’s true.
Let go of love – will dove come back to you?  
If love returns to you, then love is true.

And when you look, then know how best to see:  
Ensure that you can see with clarity.
