I splash into the river and IՉm on my way!
I hear the kids shout to say goodbye.
ՉTalilah! YouՉll be okay!Չ
I hear someone say.
The fish swim and the birds fly!
IՉd love to be one of them,
so high in the sky.
But IՉm stuck down here,
Like a gopher in its tunnels,
Here in the river that bubbles.
Suddenly my mind has changed,
For before my eyes thereՉs a girl
With braids.
She smells like a flower,
But donՉt be tricked, she has high power
For she picks me up
And brings me into a house for more than 15 hours!
She brings me out the next morning,
After a night so boring!
Back in the water, IՉve changed my mind.
Things are so beautiful, and IՉve been so blind.
The grass is so rich, and the flowers~theyՉre incredible!
Otters and butterflies, and eagles soaring above my eyes.
The next morning, I smell in the air
That summer will soon be here in a hair.
Speaking of hair,
I just saw one right over there.
Her precious babies trailing behind her,
And their cotton ball tails are everything but a cockle bur.
I see a large opening,
Could this be it?
What the first girl always talked about,
Surely IՉll fit!
Yes! ItՉs Hudson Bay!
And like the first girl would always say,
ՉYouՉll be okay!Չ
And I am.
