for the sake of knowing You, for the Glory of Your Name
to know the lasting Joy, even sharing in Your Pain


Where Hail the Seashells


Speckled, striped or
Modest with pleasing dissonance.
Oblong, round and many
Peculiar, distinguished and shapely too!

So populous, I cannot
Ascribe a word worthy enough for each one
And so resplendent, I only
Wonder who left them there?

Yes, where do they hail from?
The seas brought them to
The shores we find them.
But I reckon Someone must have left them there!

Too admirable and
Too exceptional
To be merely carried by waves
Without thoughtful creativity.
