Justin Gildow (3-26-81 / Washington, PA)

Washing ashore
I see a pendant

Picking it up
I can tell it's a valuable sea treasure

On the pendant
There's a message engraved
The message is from the mermaids
Who thank me for everything
As well as the memories
And the dreams

I smile to the sea
Even though they they're far out there
And can't see me
As they're either under the sea or playing with the
sea creatures
They know I'm grateful
