on a swing

sturdy seat
happy sigh
dangling feet
open sky
trees to meet
urge to fly
joy complete
riding high
life is sweet
heav’n is nigh

We’re never too old to reach for the sky. It just feels good!

“Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar? And be better off than you are?…You could be better than you are.” – Johnny Burke
