Poem: "THE LAST HUG." Author: Monica Bertrand.
Why do you cry crocodile??
It wouldn´t say a word nor lie.
Our leader went to the sea.
The waters were rough, not calm.
Although, he insisted to swim.
His friendly crew watched from his boat...
Why do you cry crocodile??
It wouldn´t say a word nor lie.
I miss his touch...
Our leader dived into the sea.
The tempest arose its madness...
As he gave his last hug and die.
There is a flood of tears,
Because Steve is no more near.
He would give no more hugs.
The crocodile says, as it cries and cries.
All the other animals heard, and cried aloud:
What has happened to Steve??...
They all say together as a crowd...
Why couldn´t he let it be and live!!
There is a flood in the whole world:
Oceans, rivers, ponds and lakes.
All crocodiles and other animals cry, cry and say,
As they flood all waters from their tears.
We can´t help crying. We miss his touch.
Because Steve is no more near.
He would give us no more hugs or love.
The crocodiles say, as they cry and cry.
Can you see now, Why the flood in the waters!!
We cannot stop nor say a lie.
Our leader´d dived and gone into the sea.
He´d given his very best all his life.
Now, Steve´d given his last hug and died.
