Something Special

over a year ago  
I was having difficulties  
in  my life  
so much so that it was affecting me  
big time  
I was depressed  
non-commutative  
short tempered  
dark,  dark thoughts whirled  
inside my head  
one morning I drug myself  
out of bed  
expecting yet another  
dismal day  
I opened the door  
intending to give Zoe a walk  
when something caught my eye  
lying on the ground in front of the door  
were two small stones  
one was yellow (the smaller one)  
the other was  multi-colored  
I picked them up  
when I took a closer look  
there was writing on each one of them  
the larger stone had strength
written on it  
kinda freaked me out  
when I looked at the smaller stone  
find your happy
was its message to me  
I put off walking Zoe and  
went back inside and just stared  
at the stones.  
they touched me so very much  
who gave them to me  
I wondered  
I began asking this one and that one  
if they were the ones  
I received a no answer from  
everyone I asked  
days went into weeks  
weeks into months, etc.  
now it has  been over a year  
I still am not positively sure who gave those  
stones to me  
but Mary is my choice  
she adamantly denies it was her  
she lies  
I allow her that lie  
I would still like to know for certain  
but I guess I never will  
what I do know for certain  
those two little rocks  
have helped me make a change  
in my life for the better  
I look at them every day and  
understand their messages  
I thank whoever it was who thought  
that much of me  
to let me know they cared
