Souvenirs
Listen to Attie ...
We have a patterned plate
on a high shelf
(not meant for food).
“From Greece!” Mum says.
We have a huge blue shell
full
of the sounds of the sea.
“From New Zealand!” Mum says.
We have a lady
made of smooth dark clay
and wisdom.
“From Africa!” Mum says.
We have a Nisse
in the Christmas box
his hat as pointy as a spire.
“From Norway!” Mum says.
We have a photo frame
big and colourful
but empty.
“For our next adventure!” Mum says.
