Touch of Time

The Beauty I Have Become

I've been along the shore

Washed away by the ocean

Been rolled by the tides and

Scorched by the sun

It's not at all fun

But with patience my beauty

Shines by the morning

And glitters by the evening

Don't think of where I've been

Or how long I've rolled with the tides

This is my pride

And I do not hide or toss to the side

Stormy weather have had its share

And scorching sun a whole portion

But like a jewel by the sea Ive become

Let the passerby sing my song

And praises to the beauty ever so long

Let people gasp at the beauty I've become

This is my pride, I'll never toss to the side
