Last evening while walking on the moonlit beach I came across a group of mermaids resting on rocks and combing their hair. Slowly I approached them. The mermaid nearest to me with hair as black as night beckoned me to come closer. When I did she dipped her webbed hand into the sand.
Gathering it into a small glass bottle she handed it to me. Thank you I nodded and she gently touched my head. She dove back into the sea with the rest of her mermaid companions.
Looking down at the bottle I noticed a beautiful label with her face on it. Inside was the most sparkly, glittered sand I had ever beheld. Of course it had magical properties in it. "Magical Mermaid Sand" was written on the tag. 
Affixed to the tag it reads: "This magical mermaid sand was collected when mermaids gather closest to the shore once a year, in the light of the full moon. Make a wish and sprinkle delicately to create your own magic.
Thank you mermaid friends especially Rosemary. I'll use the magical potion sparingly until I see you again when the moon is full.~Martha
