Life's Treasure

Life's Treasure I had a little treasure, I lost it in the sea. I placed my sorrow in a box, still I walked the beach. I searched the clouds for picture shapes. I talked with seagulls white. I wandered without treasure, Gathering seashells in my plight. As I sifted through the sand and gleaned along the rocks, wrapped in seaweed like a bow, was my little treasure box. Where have you been my treasure, waves swept you out to sea. I prayed that maybe once again Your return would be to me.
