Did you make it?
Did you make it?
To grandma’s house?
Did you stray like I did?
To the meadow-
Of snowdrops and daffodils.
Did you look at the sky?
To see the sun hiding,
Behind a drizzle of rain.
Did you run for cover?
Protecting the basket,
With hands covered in dirt.
Did you see the cave I did?
The one to seek shelter in,
Until the suns return.
Did you walk inside?
To meet the big eyes,
And sharp sparkling teeth.
Did you make it?
I didn’t.
