Ocean's Gift
They call to me,
Asking to be seen,
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.
