Seashell

by Anna Stanford (Cancer) - Not entered

Seashell

I walked along the beach one day
And found upon the sand
A seashell, white and delicate
And heavy in my hand

For one brief moment I stood still
Lost in another time
When you gave me a seashell
And put your hand in mine

I shook my head and, turning, threw
The shell into the sea
I left them lost beneath the waves -
A shell, a tear, a memory.
