In My Magical Seashell

I shall put in my seashell... The comfort of my favourite blanket I sleep with every night, The happy memories of my sister and I when we are together, And the fun times when I play volleyball, and when I get inspired by my sister. I shall put in my seashell ... The times I have gone tubing and got flung off, so high into the sky, The relaxation from when I lay on the beach tanning, soaking up the sun, And from when my best friend Lucia and I go swimming in the sun of summer. I shall put in my seashell... Playing on the hot summer beach after we have gone swimming, A piece of rare blue beach glass from long summer walks, And I will put the reflection of the water when we play mermaids. I shall put in my seashell... A handful of sand from the bottom of the lake, The fun of jumping on trampolines with my friends, And when the neighbours play games in the dark at summer parties. My seashell is fashioned of the sand from the bottom of the lake And the beautiful blue beach glass that has washed ashore. Its hinges are made of the sweet summer heat and the hot sand under my feet. In my seashell I shall continue to make memories, I shall breathe the fresh summer air, While eating refreshing watermelon after a swim. And, after this swim I shall do it all again.
