Life here now

Last weekend I was in my living room and looking through the window, my neighbour having a lovely dinner outside with his family. It was a nice food because I could smell and see from my bedroom on the top. They were very lucky because we had a lovely afternoon. They were enjoying the delicious cake around a cup of tea at the end
I was very happy for them.

I am in Piccadilly gardens,
I see water, people, vehicles,
I hear birds,
I smell smoke of vehicles.
Grass grows in this place.
Grapes do not grow in this place.
A strange women asked for time.
There's a busy excited mood.
It's getting more excited and busy.
It's a shopping place.

I don't remember when I was pregnant so one day I felt a pain in my stomach I booked an appointment to see the doctor.
In one-week time I received a letter from the postman.
So I opened the letter to read what the doctor said to me. He said to me I am pregnant.
I was so happy and I was thinking who can help me.

R, Sierra Leone
