| Freya Wood (Andover) |
| I wrote this poem a while ago now. It was near a birthday and I was going to see them. I suddenly got scared because I’d been away for so long I thought they might have forgotten me and wished I could be with them. So I wrote about how I felt; it made me feel better although I knew they would never be able to read it. |
