SAVED BY THE SIGN!
Ned had planned to push Tess off the top.
Beyond was an enormous drop.
But, annoyingly, upon arrival,
He saw she'd ensured her own survival!

ROCKS
A rock is pounded by the sea, over and over again.
But a rock is a rock is a rock....... it knows no pain.
But the human 'rocks' are the carers, those who give up their lives
To nurse disabled children. How frequently one arrives!
One sees them at the market, with a precious burden in tow,
The child who is now an adult, for little children grow.
And the years go on and on and on, and the tide goes in and out,
Each tide bringing aching sleepless hours and loneliness and doubt.
And the rock stands firm as the surges wash over it and recede,
And the human 'rocks' are equally firm, tending to every need.
A rock is pounded by the sea, over and over again.
But a rock is a rock is a rock....... it knows no pain.
