Like a rock, I can be considered big and unsightly at times ...and I often get in the way.   I am always there ...and whatever others want to express, can be put on me.  I am steadfast, as in ...not moving.  I may not be very exciting, but you know I'm there ...and always will be.  And I know this gives the children comfort.  They may be grown ...and do not even realize how it affects their own lives, but that's the way it often is with aspects of our life which we take for granted.
