A boulder on the beach

Have you ever wondered what it must feel like to be a boulder on a beach? Every moment is different from the previous one. Fierce waves thrash at you, high tide drowns you and sometimes the gentle sea undulates over you.
I see myself in this boulder standing on the beach of life. People and events have sometimes shaken and thrashed at me like a tsunami, some have pushed me down hoping to drown me while some have lifted me up & others have given me a warm gentle hug. I remain where I was when I was born but it seems like life has come & touched me in waves & it still continues to do so. The one thing that remains constant is the glorious sunrise that greets me everyday, no matter what is happening to me. I have missed seeing it when the wrath of the sea is upon me but on the clear days when I behold the sun rising in all his glory in the fiery eastern sky, I know there is hope and beauty still and it will always be there as long as I last on the beach. Its upto me to enjoy it everyday and not forget that life is indeed beautiful just the way it is !
