Sand Dollar

Once alive,
But now a still hollow shell.
Finding one is said to be lucky.
But I did it…
Something I’ve been waiting to do for years
A whole sand dollar.
A Pure White Solid Disk.
Such an exquisite feeling to finally find a natural treasure.
 
Billions of tiny rocks and broken shells,
Yet even more grains of sand.
Water as far as the eye can see.
Even with all of that beauty,
To stumble upon one small treasure
Makes it all worth while.
 
What an exhilarating feeling to pull the treasure from its watery prison.
To finally behold this fortune
And all of its glory.
So faultless.
No crevices or breaks.
And with a beautiful design on it that nature has created.
 
Now we go home.
Leaving with a souvenir with much sentimental value.
Much better than purchasing something; 
Truly the best things in life are free.
