Empty seashells (Challenge Write)

By nyjohn00

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Empty Seashells Walking along the beach one day Seashells polished and shining Rolling this way and that Some still alive Others just a memory Each one lived The life it was given Was it empty of love No caring to be found Just moving with the tide Till only the shell Marked its time I know my time is limited As all of ours is I want you to know How you have made my life whole You took me from the endless moving on the tide My life has a purpose with you at my side So when my time comes And I'm just a shell Where ever I am I'll know my life was worthwhile Written March 29th, 2002 © on Mar 29 2002 08:33 AM PST, John   0 • 8
