Once I was a beautiful shellGiving life to the creatures of the seaTides and time pounded on me, breaking me bit by bitThen I was stuck nowhere to go...The barnacles found a place to dwellBut Mother Ocean gave me a second chanceThe tides washed me upon the shoreThere I lay waiting in the sun, dull and chipped and uglyThen, you came along and found meThe barnacles were picked, the sand washed offYou polished me up and brought out my luster...I'm still chipped with imperfectionsBut you laid me out for everyone to see...The beautiful colors inside meNow I'm shiny with colors and goldThe tides have yet to see me grow oldWith the tenderness and care you gave meI am once again a beautiful shell
