Beach

There are more than pennies in the sand. I stumbled across a wedding band. Me with a metal detector, walking along. Other beach goers in throngs. Dropping tiny things that they will forget. But I found something that has caused regret. Sticking this ring into my bag. Who knew finding something valuable could be such a drag. This beach ate up a wedding ring. I should have known what such a search would bring. For now, I’ll take a break to relax on the beach. Holding onto this jewelry which was out of their reach. I hope they are still together. I hope when they were here, they enjoyed the weather. There are more than pennies in the sand. There is what is in my hand. A piece of someone’s love left behind. For someone like me to find.
