Paper kites

By

There once was a little girl who loved to play in the sand.

She loved the wind combining her hair and she loved to build castles by the water.

One March day, her mother said the wind was too strong and the water was to high for the little girl to play by the sand.

Today she would have to stay on dry land.

The little girl's  eyes filled with tears.

So her father suggested she fly a kite.

The little girl had never heard of a kite.

Her father went to the garage and he cut some wood and string. He found a plastic tarp and let the little girl paint on it with flowers.

Her father took her to the beach and she flew a kite and she had a great time.

When the little girl grew up into a beautiful woman, 

She met a man who did not know how to talk to her correctly.

He loved her dearly but he was not good with communication.

He did not want to lose her. So he invited her to the beach for a date.

He remembered her childhood memories that she shared.

So he stood in the wind and he looked into her eyes and he said,

" I love only you. I'm sorry I am not good at romance novel endings. So let me try the truth. "

He went to the car and he brought her a kite.

When he let it fly, she saw what he wrote on the front of the kite.

It said,

" I didn't have people to talk to and I never cared until I met you. Now I want to marry you because I can't live without you."

Her eyes filled with tears and she said,

" yes "

The End 

The sea shell

In another world,

In another space of time that I have never seen until now.

The most beautiful child was born from a shell.

Soft and white

Clear and bright in the moonlight.

He lived on the ocean floor, until the day that I met you.

I don't breathe under water and you never lived on the surface.

But I know in my heart that somewhere you once existed and I love you.
