she scoured the beach every morning 
for the perfect treasures
the ones that woud leave deep impressios on her heart
each shell choosen carefully with a purpose
often turned into mementos she would create 
sharing with those she loved so dear 
they were all different in ma ny ways 
you see the ocean had put then through the test 
crashing on and off the shore 
something in each one would catch her eye
soon to be added to her collection of summer art.
a way to share a piece of her heart .
