Pearl

As I was walking by the sea one day
I came upon a fan of me 
For sure it was a rare sight to see

As I stopped to ask, what was it doing 
 Sitting there beside that deep blue sea 
He said, well,  I'm sitting here waiting

 Just for  you, So I sat down beside him
 To rest my toes in that deep blue sea 
As I stroked him ~ he purred like a kitten

He opened up just for me, and I could see 
At last, I had found my  PEARL of the sea  
It was my destiny waiting there just for me

Powerful read, intriguing as well. It capures the reader from the very start and I could not wait to see what happened. Nice choice of words and descriptions. Imagery delicious and a message that is very poignant. A masterpiece!
