Once I was a beautiful shell
Giving life to the creatures
of the sea
Tides and time pounded on me,
breaking me bit by bit
Then I was stuck nowhere to
go...
The barnacles found a place
to dwell
But Mother Ocean gave me a
second chance
The tides washed me upon the
shore
There I lay waiting in the
sun, dull and chipped and ugly
Then, you came along and
found me
The barnacles were picked,
the sand washed off
You polished me up and
brought out my luster...
I'm still chipped with imperfections
But you laid me out for
everyone to see...
The beautiful colors inside me
Now I'm shiny with colors and
gold
The tides have yet to see me
grow old
With the tenderness and care
you gave me
I am once again a beautiful
shell..
