A tiger belongs in the jungle
a bear belongs in the woods

I belong with my books
and a basket of baked goods

A cat belongs by my side
A dog belongs there as well

I walk along the beaches
And see a pink sea shell

Taking it home, I listen
it makes the sounds of the ocean
even though it is here in this room
it was taken from its home, true
but its home is inside it too.

Truly we can all learn a lesson from even a tiny sea shell?
