i asked the LORD up above <br />to protect the woman that i love. <br />but as he would have it be <br />he took that woman away from me. <br /> <br />he left me feeling empty and shallow <br />as a sea shell upon a shore. <br />with the hopes of 'being once more'. <br /> <br />and as the tide came up on the beach. <br />there my love was within my reach. <br />the sand pulling out from under me <br />as i longed to be set free. <br /> <br />i rolled myself upon my back <br />never giving up hope <br />never giving up slack. <br /> <br />i finally reached that watery shore <br />to return to my love forever more.<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/empty-sea-shells-9-8-79/
