Did you ever look inside a sea <br />shell, and see the beauty, then <br />magicly hold it to your ear, <br />and how you can hear the <br />waves of distant sea? <br /> <br />Well I have no shell, you have <br />taken that, but I still recall the <br />the mystical sounds with <br />a very faint echo of each wave <br />crashing <br /> <br />So my love you keep our sea shell <br />you take it with you but remember <br />the tides will never change, nor will <br />the aroma of the salty air that filled <br />our hearts and touched a part of us <br />bonded by the distant sounds of <br />what was once upon a time when <br />a discoverd sea shell could hold <br />a lifetime of endless tides..........<br /><br />Bonnie Collins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-lifetime-of-endless-tides/
