I love this. I wrote a poem about the spirit in a stone years ago, and had some of these same sentiments. I have always been a lover of rocks, so this poem really resonates with me.
I'm running out of superlatives today!!! Amazing! How on earth did you come up with this? And I'm so happy the rock finally got it in the end (well, he must have)... Delightful and stunning.
Truly delightful and charming......smiling as I read. Only a true collector could write something as brilliant as this. Exactly what us rock collector's feel. lol

Adorable! Sometimes rocks can be very stubborn and need lots of convincing. :D

:) Have you ever had a "pet rock" Gail? :) What a sweet story. Everything is worthy, yes?

Beautifully stellar - worthy of a comparison to Shel Silverstein, this was excellent.

It reminded me of Shel Silverstein's book The Giving Tree!

It's a nice take, Gail. Great minds? My heroine was also a fairy godmother. They are fun to write about.
