I found the prettiest seashell

but it wasn't on any shore.

I found it in my favorite shop,

A local village store

I found the shiniest penny

but it wasn't in my purse

I found it by the roadside

where most would look their worst

I found the friendliest smile

prettier than any shell could be

more shiney than any penny

shining bright for all to see

It was on the face of a special friend

More perfect it couldn't be
