Day on the Ocean Shore *

Group 2

Hot sun, calm and chilly sea water

Smooth rocks under your bare feet

Seaweed crawling up your leg

Little sister in her float at the shore

People splashing like a joyful seal

Sand between the toes

I hate it, feels like tiny rocks on your skin

Clams buried like diamonds in the sand

Hopping on a speeding boar

Water hitting your hand like tiny piercing shards of glass

We played till sunset making castles out of sand.

Waves at night, splashing onto the sandy seashore

I hear quiet peace.

It was a big deal to me

My people called me the Herb Doctor. Why would my enslaver take my happiness? I helped others by giving them health I made medicine out of herbs

I wrapped a white bandage on John when He hit his head on a big hard rock. And you took that away from me. I taught Dora how to become a doctor. And you do this to me? It was a big deal to me.
