Just Three Children

Last evebing...sitting by the Inukshuk...
[Inuit stone structure]...on the shores of
English Bay...I noticed this family...
some of whom were clad in the traditional clothes...
of their country of origin...arrive on the beach...
It didn't take long before
the children started playing the ancient game
with the waves...
going as close as they could
to the waves coming in...
then attempting to skip away...
before their footware
and long clothing got wet...
reminding anyone looking at them...
that they weren't "strange folk"...
but just three children...
just the same as young human beings...
from anywhere in our world....
