I read a children book--- The big big Sea last week.

It is a nice poem.... written by Martin Waddell.

=============================================================

The big big Sea

Mum said, "Let's go!"

So we went...

out of the house

and into the dark

and I saw .,..

THE MOON.

We went over the field

and under the fence and I saw

the sea in the moonlight,

waiting for me.

Mum said,

"Take off your shoes and socks!"

And I did.

And I ran

And Mum ran.

We ran and we ran

straight through the puddles

and out to the sea!

I went right in to the shiny bit.

There was only me in the big big sea.

I splashed

and I laughed

and Mum came after me

and we paddled

out deep in the water.

We got all wet.

Then we walked

a bit more

by the edge of the sea

and our feet made big holes in the sand.

Far far away

right round the bay were the town

and the lights and the mountains.

We felt very small,

Mum and me.

We didn't go to the town.

We just stayed for a while by the sea.

Any Mum said to me,

"Remember this time,

It's the way life should be."

I got cold

And Mum carried me

all the way back.

We sat by the fire

Mum and me,

and ate hot buttered toast

and I went to sleep

on her knee.

I'll always remember

just Mum and me

and the night that we walked

by the big big sea.
