Because you were built stone by stone.

No. Not your beauty and finesse which took me.
Nor your arches and hues, engravings and calligraphy.
They were magnificent, no doubt.
But I have reached,felt, absorbed 
- the stone you are built up of -
and how you have kept it
- integrated -

Because I know,
That's what makes you stand tall.
That's what will draw these birds to you each day.
Because l know,
You were built stone by stone.
