Yia Yia and the Bushland

I remember Yia Yia laughing
Rainbow lorikeets squawking and singing
The feeling of the warm, shining sun makes everything feel better
The warm air smelt salty and tasted like sugar
The sand looked like it wanted me to stay
I remember Yia Yia laughing
The waves were coming and crashing
The sunset, shining against the ocean, made everything look beautiful
The bush smelt like herbs and tasted like spices
The shells looked like they wanted me to stay
I remember Yia Yia laughing
The shining sun dimmed at the end of the day
The last thing l remember was everyone going to sleep
The night smelt like pillows and tasted like memories
All the memories will stay because they are loved
