To Mieke

BEING SEVEN YEARS OLD

BEING HAPPY

TWO HANDS IN ONE

MANY STROKES IN THE SWIMMING WATER

EATING LOTS OF SWIMMING COOKIES

FULL BELLY

EVEN MORE SWIMMING STROKES

NO EATING SWIM COOKIES

AND ON THE WAY HOME

"VIVA BOMA PATATTE Mè SAUCISSE"

SEVEN YEARS SQUARED

NO MORE SWIMMING STROKES

BUT TOGETHER

OUT OF SIGHT BUT NOT OUT OF MIND

DO SAIL WELL MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND
