Monica - Marlborough School - Los Angeles
The sun beats down on the beach umbrellas
A little girl races to catch the approaching water
But trips along the way
There is a sting of cool water against her warm body
And a hand scoops up her form
Wrapping a sandy towel around her
Soothing words from a concerned mother are of no use
She escapes and runs to her fortress
Where a foreigner handles her toys playfully
Then stuffs them with sand and plops them down again
Creating a barrier from the oncoming flood
The rushing water seeps through a crack
But halts in its tracks because of a roadblock
The boy shoes it away and the water withdraws
Backing away slowly
A weak smile appears on the girl
Admiration for a noble knight
And a friendship to last until parting
New acquaintances may not always be bad
But friendly and loving with time
