A Shell Poem

This shell poem symbolizes how a meaningful relationship has the ability to transform us, to see ourselves in a new light. 

Like our emotions, shells can be symmetrical and smooth, jagged and rough, broken and crushed, strong and fragile. That special someone in your life often has the ability to see through the emotions, to help bring out the essence of who you really are.

A Shell's Journey

A shell
Small, distinct
Half-buried in sand
Yet inside
Mysteries of centuries old
From its journey through the sea
This shell I give to you
For what you have given me
Like a shell that's been opened
You bring out the best in me
The part that was hidden
That even I didn't see
Shining before the world
Like a treasure from the sea
