THE BOY AND THE PENGUIN PEBBLE

  THE BOY AND THE PENGUIN PEBBLE      TIM WILLIAMS           JAN. 2015

CANT WAIT FOR THE SUMMER TO COME
TODAY ON A BEACH SAW A REFLECTION OF THE SUN
IT BOUNCED FROM THE SAND TO THE SKY 
I SMILED WITH MY SUNGLAZED EYE'S

A SMALL BOY WITH HIS DOG ON HER LEAD
DECIDED TO GO DOWN WITH HIS SHIP
OR AT LEAST IT WAS HOW THE INCIDENT SEAMED
AS HE SANK IN HIS PUDDLE LIKE A DREAM

I FOUND THE PENGUIN PEBBLE ON THE BEACH
PLACED IT IN YOUR HAND, AS IF TO TEACH
THAT THIS IS AN OFFERING OF OUR LOVE
A PENGUIN DOES THIS ONLY ONCE, IT'S ENOUGH

THE DAY WAS SPECIAL THE WARMTH OF THE SUN
REFLECTIONS OF SOMETHING NEW THAT'S JUST BEGUN
THE BOY WITH THE DOG IS SOAKED TO THE SKIN
FROM WADING THROUGH PUDDLES TOO DEEP FOR HIM

WE ARE ALL LOOKING OUT TO THE SEA
DREAMING OF A SUMMER TO BE
WHEN THE BOY AND THE PENGUIN PEBBLE 
WILL BE TANNED AND HAPPY YOU SEE
