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 til 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 made for 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.

With my head in the sky and my wings in the air, I try to spend my spare time at the footy (AFL in Australia) Go Pies! – and valuable hours with family and friends. Otherwise I’ll have pen in hand and notebook at the ready for those insightful snippets that dream up a poem.
I contribute to Cosmofunnel where you’ll find a guided universe of poetry and art.
