Begging to be enjoyed,
We carry the burden of our inborn limitations.
5They call to me,
Showing–off their beauty,
Shining in the sunlight,
The way a smile shares warmth.
They call to me.
10I hear their plea.
I recognize their beauty.
I want to take them home.
I promise to care for them,
To use them in design,
15To show them off forever.
I hold the seashells with care.
They are mine,
Forever.
