From a time, many tides ago…🪁

Sכnde, Ista dכn rich

Una si we pipul dεm plεnti?

Ɔl kayn kayt fכ dεm pikin dεm.

Sunday, Easter’s here.
We’re off to the beach
Relations are going too.
Look how many people.

So many kites for the children.
Who’s got twine? Is the rigging ok?
Hurry, there’s the wind …get a move on!
What are you doing? Careful not to rip it!

Yank! Yank it!
Wait for it to catch
You little ones, run behind;
Careful the kite doesn’t fall in the water.

Why don’t you go help your companion!
Don’t drag it through the sand. You’ll ruin it.
Wait for me to lift it up…. Be patient!
Hold till it catches the wind.

It’s off!
Look it’s going crazy!
The tail wasn’t enough.
The twine is tangled

How we laughed…
Ah, Life was good.
Thank God
Happy Easter to you all.
