Meet Me At the Pier Head
“I am so happy, it’s making me tired, nearly as tired as I used to be after long times in that coal shed. New shoes, red ones and black ones, brown sandals, white gym shoes and black wellies. I am with Nana and Mr Quinn and Miss Bellamy and her mam and Joan and Harry and Martha and Dr Heilberg’s here, too. Happy feels so good it nearly makes me cry, which is very silly. I want to sing and shout and laugh and cry all at the same time.
I think it’s because they all like me. There’s no coal she...d and no jumping up and down men and nobody hits me. My mam is in hospital asleep cos she wanted to go to heaven, but it wasn’t her time, Nana said. I am singing now. Miss Bellamy says I have an angel’s voice. Her mam looks a bit sad. Joan, the lady with Miss Bellamy’s mam, has grey hair and twinkly blue eyes. They are kind eyes.
I’d like to stay here for ever and ever. There’s a shed in the back garden, but I’ve never been in it. It isn’t a coal shed.MoreLess
