Finding Shells (Monday Poem)

 by Nicola Davies


There's no special trick to finding seashells.
All you have to do is look.
It's hard at first, but soon your eyes
will start to notice tiny details
and you'll pick up little bits of beauty.
Let your heart sing for a moment,
then put them back:
someone else might need them.
