"Pebbles" by Valerie Worth

Pebbles belong to no oneUntil you pick them up —Then they are yours.

But which, of all the world’sMountains of little broken stones,Will you choose to keep?

The smooth black, the white,The rough gray with sparksShining in its cracks?

Somewhere the best pebble mustLie hidden, meant for youIf you can find it.
