A Stone Soldier

Traveled from China across the seas
Frozen in stone until the end of time
Shaped from hard-working hands
A lone soldier standing through the night

Frozen in stone until the end of time
Unspeaking, but always watching
A lone soldier standing through the night
A comforting presence

Unspeaking, but always watching
Suspended in time forever.
A comforting presence
Given to me by my Grandparents

Suspended in time forever
Shaped from hard-working hands
Given to me by my Grandparents
Traveled from China across the seas
