the sound of the sea
does truely dwell
wholely, in this pure white shell
the whisper of the gentle waves,
lapping against the seaside caves
or the thundering of the surf
wetting patches of bright green turf,
crying seagulls, that swoop down and land
looking for scurrying crabs on the white sand
all can be heard so well
when you put your ear to the white shell

this pure white shell
another awesome creation
God's summation
of the wonders of the sea
as I gaze upon it
it has me in its spell,
within it does dwell
the song I long to hear
the sound of the sea..........
