Notes About The Poem
This poem is dedicated to my Grand-daughter Rhiannon

It was inspired by a beautiful picture presented by Caroline Cecile

A Treasure Found

hold it to your ear my dear
     and listen as its sound is clear
     the hissing ocean waves depart
     and leave such thrills upon ones heart

     the sound it echoes loud then soft
     imagining the breeze aloft
     you close your eyes and visualize
     the ships at sea and what might be

     you hear the tide both ebb and flow
     as nature plans to keep it so
     a treasure found and held so tight
     you make a wish with all your might

     so hold it to your ear my dear
     and listen as its sound is clear
     imagine where you want to be
     perhaps a sailing ship at sea...

Early morning reading to get the mind buzzing. Thank you for sharing your excellent poetry Sharon. Have a fabulous weekend and I hope to see more of your poetry when I get back to the Soup Monday. Usually pretty busy on the weekends with family so don't get to read much. Love, Carol
