Ever since I was a small child
I knew that ultimately I would
Be on my own
Building a foundation of morals
And principles
A man standing on stone
Throughout my life’s journey
I met many beautiful people
Who became my friends
But I knew that in the end
I would be all alone
Unless I became
A man standing on stone
All my life I searched
For truth and honor
And I don’t care
If I end up broke and all alone
Because in the eyes of God
I am a man standing on stone
-Peter Moeller
