What a wonderful surprise 💙

Was a wonderful surprise just waiting for me

As I strolled barefoot kicking the silky sand contentedly

I caught a glimpse of something that was floating so carefree

Well of course I had to do a double take

As this little glass bottle ebb and flowed in the water’s wake

And there was random rugged rocks so it could easily break

Yet I couldn’t resist my curiosity picking it up and giving it a shake

Wow a glass bottle with a little letter rolled up inside

Well my excitement was of course undeniable, I almost cried

You know that feeling of fascination that cannot ever be denied

I simply could not wait to read what this conundrum would reveal, within my eagerness, squint eyed..

I read “To the reader and I hope my little letter in this glass bottle finds you very well”

And I said out loud “ Oh yes my faraway friend all is intact in its secure shell”

She explained “I am French, living on the shores of marvellous Marseille”
