People thought of me as dead,
They trampled me under their feet.
This wasn't a one time event,
I had been enduring it for all eternity.
The sun, the air, the wind,
They were all against me.
They thought I was so insignificant,
And very hard to please.
Everyone thinks I've to just sit still,
And so my life is very easy.
But they don't know I get tossed around,
Even when I try to sleep.
I'm worn out and tired, old and grey,
There's no beauty in me, you can say.
I'm known as a tiny pebble,
but God knows me by a different name.
God led a man named David,
A man after His own heart.
And that's how I was used
To kill a giant named Goliath.
Even after the victory,
I was treated just the same.
But after that divine encounter,
I don't desire for fame.
I know now, someone knew my pain
He was there with me all along.
He was molding, shaping and fixing me,
So that I could be used for His war.
He took the stony heart out of my flesh,
And told me not to be afraid.
He told me to show other lost and weary stones,
That they're hidden gems in the Master's tray!
- Abigael David
