A little walk the other day Shook up the memory bank Sounds so familiar Sights of days gone by Watching from a distance Staring at the swings in the park Waiting for a parent and child To share a few minutes That will last a lifetime. Remembering, each swing Taking in each scream of laughter Hair over little faces Higher Daddy, higher! Aiming high for the sky Soaring back and forth. Little pleasures, little children The sweetness, and the restlesness Running, flowing, swinging,falling Time to go now, sweetie, tis' getting dark. Energy spent and gone on those weary little legs. Daddy, I'm tired! Can you carry me, please? Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Oh God if I could only return to the days of swings and my little boys were such sweet little angels. I love the children they were, but the adults they are have alot to be desired. |
