Residents in our Health Care Center and Personal Care sat down with Resident Life Assistant Lee Parry to create two poems inspired by a picture of a little girl going into the waves. The two poems were written in response to the picture.
Health Care Center Poem
Summer Fun in the Sun
At the beach.
Picking up sand and let it
Flow free.
Shallow salty water
Hitting me.
Waves splashing and crashing.
Knocking me down.
I could almost drown.
Happiness on the horizon.
Personal Care at Stapeley Hall Poem
Water
Going in water.
She washed her back.
Tippy toe into the waves
Pick up a wave and put it in her mouth
It tasted not so hot
She spat it out
Too much salt
Next time she'll shut her mouth
She'll get another glass
Dry off with a towel
Into the water to swim
Now she knows to shut her mouth when going in swimming.
