Moon Shell Memories When we were young, we used to go Down to the beach, that lay below Our cliff-side house and there explore, The treasures left along the shore. We'd wade in shallow water and Watch for moon shells in the sand. The empty ones we carried back, Secured within a canvas sack. Around our flower beds they lay, Both shells and driftwood, on display. So many afternoons we went And they were times so sweetly spent! We're grown now and years have passed, But I still hold those moments fast. I see the Sound and feel the breeze, When we made moon shell memories! Betty Lou Hebert [This message has been edited by Trillium (04-26-2003 07:01 PM).] |

Joyce: Thanks for reading and commenting. We lived in Seattle years ago near the Fauntleroy Ferry dock and spent hours and hours on the beach. Betty Lou Hebert |

BettyLou~ Your tender memories caused me to dig into the cedar chest ... finding those shells that this mommy tucked away. Holding them to my ear ... I can still hear the laughter of each of my children as they ran to give me their gifts~ (Okay ... I'm a sentimental packrat ... I never throw away anything !)  Thank you for this memory-shaker ! *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Dear Marge: Thanks for sharing your memories. I really wrote this for my son, Rolfe and when he was 8 -9 years old, he and I spent hours on the beach, gathering shells and driftwood. I was looking at some of the pieces a couple of days ago and can harldy believe I have been packing all of that around for 40 years!! Now that's a pack rat! So that makes two of us I guess! The memories are too sweet to through these things away. Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
