That dirty old stone
It was just a dirty old stone,
residents knew it was heavy in weight.
It was nestled near some briers~
weighing 4000 pounds~irregular in shape.
Residents passed and wanted it moved..
No one knew it would become history~
Strangers talked about it in disgust~
~Wedged in gravel, did it know the mystery?
Then the daylight suddenly turned dark!
The old stone starting rolling away!
It rolled away from the tomb ?
'twas rolled there to forever stay.
And now~~~the dirty old stone had become
a part of the most historical day.
A cool breeze blew and the stone felt
Angel Arms lightly roll it away.
