Anna's poem
Dream
I lie in bed looking at the clock tell myself to go to sleep,
I fall into a deep, deep sleep.
I dreamed I had a baby girl,
A beautiful baby girl with blond curly hair.
A little girl about one and walking around my garden,
The little girl so small and perfected falls in a hole in my garden.
As it was a windy day the wind picked her up and fall into the hole.
All I could see is her tiny little red shoes from the hole,
I ran across and pull her out one of her shoes fall off but I get her in my arms.
Then I take her in my house and shut
The door the wind is banging on the door.
The door flies open and the wind pulls the little girl outside.
I grab her tight and not let go I fight to keep a hold of this beautiful little girl. Then the wind again.
I have her in my arms and then
A car pulls up a man comes out,
With a little boy. I smile it’s my Angel, my boy.
He comes running to me and we
Are a family a happy family again
