Washing ashore <br />I see a pendant <br /> <br />Picking it up <br />I can tell it's a valuable sea treasure <br /> <br />On the pendant <br />There's a message engraved <br />The message is from the mermaids <br />Who thank me for everything <br />As well as the memories <br />And the dreams <br /> <br />I smile to the sea <br />Even though they they're far out there <br />And can't see me <br />As they're either under the sea or playing with the <br />sea creatures <br />They know I'm grateful<br /><br />Justin Gildow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-gift-from-the-mermaids/
