Happy Children

brown rounded bodies
like shiny river pebbles
tumbling and leaping
with arms outstretched
sunlight gleaming on polished skin
sparkling orbs of water
splashed high in the air
the glint of sunlight
on copper bracelets
sand covering wet bodies
sandpaper children
with faces lifted to an African sky
footprint patterns in wet sand
