MOTHER BEACH
Perhaps a favorite game of mine
An old friend plays with me
By hiding specs of colored glass
Cultured in her sea…

When I take the time
To stop my walk
And ask my sandy friend
“What have you hiding
in your lap
Your smile at water’s end?”

My gaze surrounds her shore
And soon within my reach..
A splendid piece
Of smooth blue glass
A gift from Mother Beach!

Today I found mostly green,
Ten shades and sizes each
I wonder if she felt my heart
Rejoice in Mother Beach

As I walked away
My hand caressed
Lessons I cannot teach
I knew my life
Would soon return
Its course to Mother Beach.
