seashells
no two seashells are the same;
but then, to be invariable would be a shame
to be unique is a gift you see
to be you is the best way to be
some are captivating and beautiful beyond compare
while some are unpropitious with signs of wear and tear
yet despite their differences each one has an admirer
and whether whole or broken each one is a survivor
seashells speak of the sea’s unknown stories
events unfolding through millions of centuries
when you spot one on the shore
protect it like you would a fond accessory
no two seashells are the same, it’s true
nor are two humans invariable– let this message get through
to be unique is a gift you see
to be you is the best way to be
