Three little girls

Three little girls
run into the sea
squealing so joyfully
laughing with glee.

Forwards
then back to the sand
splashing
running hand in hand.


Three little girls
cry at close of the day
walk out of the sea
no time left to play.

Oh, but they had so much fun. How sad to see the day come to an end. Cute poem, I can picture the three little girls playing in the surf. Cute Poem, Cuby!

Such great fun always leads to momentary sadness when the fun has to stop for the day.

EG CameraGirl said...

Ah, that's the way with kids, isn't it? I think they just tire themselves out, so tired they cry.

This really made me smile. I know too well the tears that always seem to come when it's time to go home and the fun has to end... :)

Viola said...

Oh- I just love this one! It's like I can see the three little gurls.. :)

Thanks for all your nice comments! :)

Have a nice week! :)

Doris said...

Oh no, what happened? They were having such a nice time. Now I'm wondering why they were crying. I think it was because they had to get out of the sea. I hope that's all it was.

Al said...

LOL, I remember being sad at the end of a fun day by the sea. (Although I was a little boy so crying wasn't acceptable.)

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Great poem... Reminds me of the times I spent with my 3 childhood girlfriends.. We had such JOY together --and TEARS when we left each other. One has since died from cancer---so there are still tears over that.

Hugs,
Betsy

This is very evocative and I can imagine what a drawing of the little girls would look like. Lovely imagery!

In Holland we have a child song about three toddlers sitting on a fence in spring and talking about the birds they hear singing. Your poem reminds me of it!

Cuby said...

Simone de Klerk: Sounds a delightful little song.
