Many years ago
A little girl walked
Sand squishing between her toes
In the corner
Of her baby blues
A pebble so fine caught her eye
It was smooth
Bright flecks of gold
Glistened in her soft hands
The little pebble
Became a friend to her
She took it everywhere she went
One day whilst playing
The pebble she did drop
Unknowingly so, she left the pebble behind
When she realised
That the pebble was gone
Inconsolable the girl was to be
Many years passed
The little girl became a woman
Holding her child's little soft hand
Together they walk
Pairs of feet gently stroll on by
Sand still squishing among their toes
The child then sees
Something so very lovely
She bends down to stare in wonder
Picking it up proudly
She goes to show her mother
Holding out her tiny opened hand
There in her palm
Was the beautiful pebble
Still round with lovely flecks of gold!
The lost pebble
Was lost no more
Being cherished and kept very safe for all to see!
