Shards of Glass

There-
Scattered along the shore
Buried in sand
Do you see?
Glistening in sunlight
Tiny shards of glass 
Small treasures
Waiting 
To be discovered
Collecting little gems
Carefully one by one
Gently
Fragile jewels deserve
The tender’st care
Hold them up before
Glorious sunlight
Store away safely
Deep within the heart
Remember this prize
In the darkest hours
Rays of sun soon
Will sparkle upon
These precious gems
These tiny shards of hope.
