A grain of sand
is such a bother
scratching
between my shells
like a wayward child
you are coated with love
and
mother-of-pearl
You leave
crafted with layers
of beauty
knowing
underneath
it all
is just
a grain of sand

A pearl of a poem.
Yes, I'm sorry. I just couldn't help myself.

Difficult to believe that a pearl emerges from a grain of sand . . .
Poetic becomes you Gail . . .

It's true though. From tiny things comes greatness. Or beauty.
Aren't kids precious jewels!
