The Wave I want to age like sea-glass Un-broken Smoothed by ever changing tides My shape transformed by each wave I want to be like a sea-glass caressed gently by those who admire my well earned patina caught by a wave and brought to a temporary natural resting place I want to be appreciated for the changes I went through with time, that helped shape my beauty I want to enjoy my hope-filled journey trusting that the ocean will whisper sweetly, rage with vigorous and continue to generously give I want to one day rejoin the ever changing seascape with my butterfly daughter I want to age like sea-glass glistening with life |
