Sia Jumping
Listen to Chrissie Gittins reading her poem
Sia jumps off the window sill
into her grandfather’s arms
and the red tree jumps with her.
Grandfather stands further away.
Sia jumps off the window sill
into her grandfather’s arms
and the rain jumps with her.
Grandfather stands further away.
Sia jumps off the window sill
into her grandfather’s arms
and the lightening sky jumps with her.
The rain drops stop, the leaves fall
and the sun comes shining through.
into her grandfather’s arms
and the red tree jumps with her.
Grandfather stands further away.
Sia jumps off the window sill
into her grandfather’s arms
and the rain jumps with her.
Grandfather stands further away.
Sia jumps off the window sill
into her grandfather’s arms
and the lightening sky jumps with her.
The rain drops stop, the leaves fall
and the sun comes shining through.
