I AM SITTING ON THE BEACH IN
FRONT OF THE BEACH HOUSE
I WATCH SEAGULLS PICKING UP LEFT PVER FOOD PN THE BEACH.
I WATCH A HUGE PELICAN FLY LOW ACROSS THE WATER, I LOOK AT MY FINGERS THEY ARE COVERED IN SAND
ITS QUIET HERE TODAY SOME PEOPLE WALKING THERE DOG
SOME WERE JOGGERS, SOME WERE PROBABLY ON THEIR WAY TO WORK.
I AM STARING OUT ACROSS THE OCEAN I AM I AM WATCHING THE WAVES ONTO THE SAND
I FEEL SOME TEARS WELLING!.I HEAR PEOPLE LAUGHING. I AM HAPPY THAT THEY ARE HAPPY. BUT I AM SAD!!
I WANT TO YELL AT THEM AND SAY
‘BE QUIET GO AWAY‘I DIDN’T YELL
I LOOKED BACK AT THE OCEAN I CAN FEEL MY TOES AND FINGERS IN THE SAND.
THE SUN GOES BEHIND A CLOUD. IT FEELS KIND OF CHILLY
I THINK OF FIONA’S FRIEND MR FRITZ HOPING HE IS NOT TO SAD, HIS CAT DIED LAST WEEK
I THINK OF MY FAMILY MY ANIMALS AND MY FRIENDS, I THINK OF MY NAN BEAR THEN I START TO CRY
BECAUSE I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT ONE DAY MAYBE SOON MY NANBEAR IS GOING TO DIE
I LOOK BACK AT THE BEACH HOUSE, I HEAR MY MUMMY CALLING I RUN AS FAST AS I CAN KICKING UP SOME SAND, TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE. I AM FEELING REALLY SAD
AS I RUN TOWARD MY MUMMY I REMEMBER SOMETHING MY NAN BEAR SAID ‘REMEMBER TO ALWAYS BE KIND TO YOUR SADNESS
I AM RUNNING REALLY FAST NOW TEARS STILL FALLING FROM MY EYES MY HEART TELLS ME TO RUN REALLY FAST, ALL THE WAY HOME
I RUN PAST MY MUMMY AND MY BROTHERS TOO I BURST OPEN THE DOOR IF MY NAN BEARS ROOM
NAN BEAR IS RESTING HER BED IS SO BIG. I STAND AND THE SIDEOF IT. I KISS HER ON THE CHEEK NAN BEAR OPENS HER EYES. aAND SMILES. SHE WRAPS HER ARMS AROUND ME SHE SMELLS OF SAGE AND SANDEL WOOD. I HUG HER BACK AND WHISPER IN HER EAR. TI LOVE YOU MY NANBEAR THANK YOU FOR BEING MY HOME.
