Hannah and Holly and Jade and Jen
walked from the hills to the shore
in the sun for a swim.
Hannah blew bubbles and sang a tune -
then the others joined in
and they played until noon.
They’d frolic and gambol whilst down
by the sea - as the sun cracked a smile
as wide as can be.
They had not a worry - not a worry at all -
they were young and carefree,
they were having a ball.
Hannah and Holly and Jade and Jen
then packed up their things
and strolled toward home.
In twilight they pondered days
lying ahead – knowing they’d keep
each and all from alone.
And as their eyes tired and they lay down
in their beds - they knew tomorrow would
welcome them all in their stead.
Welcome to hope and to joy and to laughter
as well - what a story those girls
would be able to tell.
