From a presidential mountain face,
to the far reaches of outer space;lays boundless, amazing discoveries,
as rocks yield their secrets in all countries.
Some rocks can reach massive sizes,
while others fit through needle eyes;some are shiny, and others are not.
But all are remarkable, when put to thought
The sandstone arches in the Utah sun
is a rock landscape that can’t be outdone.The relentless, ever-changing weather
brings rain, snow and ice altogether.
The granite peaks through Colorado
Create a large elongated shadow show
While they slowly erode, silently away—
but is unnoticeable in our daily fray
Through craters and volcanic plains
along the orbit where the moon reigns,
are fields of extraterrestrial moon stone
that every geologists would love to own
Rocks are seemingly everywhere;
over here and surely over there,From mountaintops to the forest floor—
In outer space, and right outside the door.
