When I was young at the falls I stood at the side of the water fall listening to the rushing, tumbling, storming water falling fast. I remember walking along the side of the furious waterfall looking around, I could see lots of the beautiful colours of the trees and sky
above, I could see buildings and lights in the distance. I could see birds flying high.
When I was young at the falls I could taste the small droplets of water, so quenching, on my tongue from the water fall. I remember hearing birds chirping and trees waving in the wind. I remember smelling food from the crowded restaurants nearby, my nose taking in the aroma of burgers and fries.
When I was young at the falls, it made me feel calm, quiet and peaceful. I was always curious about how the falls were made and the purpose of such power and strength of this source. I always just felt in a whole other world where there was peace and kindness.
At the waterfalls, I remember when my sister and I were so happy and surprised to see the crashing, rumbling and spraying water. I miss going to all the stores and restaurants and tasting all the delectable foods.
