Swing Swi……….ng……… . . Swi………ng………. high………, toes pointing up to the sky……… . Swi……….ng………. low………, a kicking backwards, I go ……… . I look and I see all the trees, God made me, as I fly………. And I listen to birds chirping loud, one is heard twirling cries……… . . Swi……….ng………. high………, toes pointing up to the sky……… Swi……….ng………. low………, a kicking backwards, I go ……… . Flowers are in bloom; the sky's, one big room, as I fly………. My breath growing deep as I'm pumping steep, up high………. . . Swi……….ng………. high………, toes pointing up to the sky……… Swi……….ng………. low………, a kicking backwards, I go ……… . Sun's in my face, all ablaze as I race through a breeze……… Drinking all of my warmth, a pumping my arms and knees……… . . Swi……….ng………. high………, toes pointing up to the sky……… Swi……….ng………. low………, a kicking backwards, I go ……… . . Swi……….ng . Swing. .

Silver spring darling heart I think this is utterly utterly spectacular. The flow the construction the rhythm all combine to make this a truly outstandingly fabulous poem. Rarely is writing this good, certainly this far exceeds my expectations and my expectations for you are always high. YOU are a very good writer and this proves it. This is soooo unique such a wonder to me Absolutely excellent work Don’t stop writing you improve daily and this shows just how well you can Write.   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy   To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Thank you, Dave. I'm also a teeter, totter guy, now. Although I still love to swing. I have a little stilt house in the Ocala National Forest with three swings on maple trees there and some of us senior kids (lol..) still show off, swinging high. -Silver Streak Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

Thank, Vic! Now you just take it easy. But watching others swing is what makes me dizzy. LOL... Of course, I'm dizzy much of the time, just flying around the skies. -Silver Streak Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

Kay, I think that God just awakened me at 3:30 a.m. this morning and said to me. Kathleen is preparing to swing. So write a swing song to remind her that I am with her. She will swing, shortly! And so I rolled out from under my covers and this came out. -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

Nancy, those front porch swings are also my favorite, but for some reason I get all warm and lose control when I swing there. -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

Swinging is like reliving part of my youth. I loved this. *s* On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |
