Happy Birthday Boulder

Maud Pie was all alone in the old mine in which she did her research as she felt something warm and fuzzy in her proud heart. The grey mare reached out for the pocket of her frock and pulled out a small plane stone.

Happy Birthday Boulder

Boulder you are the greatest friend.
You will be with me till the end.
Nopony got a clue
what I am to you.
They don´t see you as a pet.
They are blind because I let
them not into our enigma.
Just you and me and Pinkamena.
It has been another year
and I hold you very dear.
You are the gem in my stock
not just a stone, not just a rock.
The seventh year has passed by
and many wondered why
I would let you in my heart,
don´t be angry they are not smart.
They could give me all their money
They would not get you, honey.
All this time we spend together,
every day and every weather,
has flown away in a blink.
I don´t care what they think
if they declare me silly
ever since I was a filly
you and me,
we are family.
Nothing will ever change this, that is fact
and I wonder how they will react
when they finally notice what is true
when they are going to meet you.
Please rember what you promised
that you will stay at your calmest.
Ponies are so very fickle
so don´t let them brickle.
Pardon me that was awkward
let forget this, looking forward
I will show you such nice places
quarries, ruins and the mazes.
I will teach you, as you grow
everything you need to know.
The difference between each stone
How to behave and hunt alone.
I have studied extra hard,
so believe me I know my part.
I make you strong, I make you bright
I keep you warm and hold you tight.
Three more years will have to go
then you are here to show,
all your beauty and your charm
that you are nopony´s harm.
Auntie Pinkie will celebrate
that is for sure, this special date.
It will be your second birth
and it will sure be worth
to wait ten years for you to hatch
so you and I are a perfect match.
I will be your friend and your mother
you my pet and my brother.
Companions, we will be forever
and explore the world however
the odds may be against us.
Have you with me that is a plus.
Boulder, you are my dove
you deserve all my love.
To know you are in my robe
that gives me faith, that gives me hope.
You are more than just a rock
that weighs down my frock.
You are the thing that gives me drive,
that points to the goal of my life.
If it was not for you i´d never learn
or had anything to earn.
I owe you oh so many
just for be your Nanny.
I will never be able to repay my debt
to you my glorious pet.

When I first saw your kind
I admit I lost my mind.
This apperance so specific
and your skill so terrific
yet it was so terrible
that it was almost unbearable.
I needed know more,
stole the books from the store.
My parents were so mad
or maybe they were just sad?
I got grounded for a year
and missed Pinkie´s Cutiemark appear
While it happen I sat with gloom
locked up inside my room.
Everything was like mute
all was left that was my loot.
Why my parents had bought them I never understood
but you can imagine that I liked it good,
As much I loved to learn about you
that day I cursed it too.
Pinkie Pie is truly a wonder,
a riddle I like to ponder.
She does things I can not grasp
even a perfect being like you would be a gasp.
Our parents she eased
so I got soon released.
From that day onward I was on a quest
to find you, Boulder, in your nest.
It was dangerous to say the least
spy upon a wild cockatrice.
Deep in the woods were you loose the sight
with every branch we had to fright
to get surprised by a creature around the spot.
I must admit Pinkie sense helped a lot.
To finally hold you in my possession
Took all my heart, all my passion
A cockatrice is such a beast
I needed to learn on what you feast.
Many books I had to read
about each stone I will have to feed
what rock you crunch with your beak.
Because of you I became a geek,
a student and an expert in petrology.
I take it as a sign of synergy
that pet-rology helps me to raise my pet rock
to a magnificent cockatrice cock
Just three more years, it will be so soon
Your emerald scales will shine under the moon,
prideful wings to lift you in the air,
rubin red eyes with devastating stare.
It was this petrifying gaze,
that let me in amaze.
Turning warm living into stone
Fair to say my mind was blown.

I dream of you riding on my back
feeling your tail around my neck.
Tasting rocks that you create
I am sure they would be great.
Boulder, You have to try my rock candy
I assure you they taste dandy.
Oh and then there is also Gummy.
Pinkies aligator, he is not yummy!
I am sure you will get along
will have a friendship true and strong.

Every year at around this time
you even inspire me to rhyme.
When your soul is reaching out
and I can hear your heart so loud.
When your stony egg feels warm
and you defy your usual norm.
Then we celebrate your birthday
as long as it is for you okay.

Maud pressed the small grey stone in on her chest. On no other day she would have been able to make a poem like that on the spot and she swore to herself that nopony, but Pinkie would ever get it to hear.
