POETRY CONTEST
A snail remains close to his shell
Crawling along at his own pace
Minding his own business
Like so many humans we
Copy what and how a snail lives
Then the ball of the sun sets
And gentle breezes come through
Forcing us to look up and out
To see the beauty of what life offers
We sense friends who we once
Thought were so distant
And finally we smile
As we let our heart and soul
Escape the covering of our shell
And we soar across the skies
Realizing we were given one more chance
To live and breathe once more.
