The Hidden Pearl

Upon the ocean seabed deep, Where coral castles softly sleep, And sunlight dances, filtered down, A mermaid searched, in seaweed gown.

Marina the mermaid, with scales so bright, Was searching for something, with all her might. A hidden pearl, a legend told, More precious than silver, more grand than gold.

She swam past clams with sleepy sighs, And starfish winking with button eyes. She poked around a giant shell, Hoping the secret it would tell.

Then, in a cavern, dark and vast, A glimmer shone, built to last! A pearly light, a gentle gleam, The hidden pearl, a waking dream!

But it wasn't one! It wasn't two! But dozens of pearls, a shining hue! Nestled inside the biggest shell, More treasures than she could ever tell!

Marina gasped, her heart alight, The hidden pearl, a glorious sight! A secret stash, for all to see, The ocean’s jewels, wild and free!

So deep in the ocean, the story's told, Of treasures hidden, more precious than gold. The seabed sleeps, with secrets deep, While ocean treasures softly sleep!
