The Rock

See me here, on the dock?
Pick me up! I'm a rock!
You can take me home with you
A token of
this lake so blue.

I'm made of many minerals
hard, not soft
like dinner rolls

I was formed
so long ago
under sand
and 'neath the snow

I'm made of atoms
on a mission
resulting in
my chemical composition

Sometimes I'm loved
so much, I'm kissed
by overzealous
Geologists

I'd let you meet
my friend (a player)
but he's from some other
sedimentary layer.
