Gravity let me down

by 3purplepebbles

Our good friend gravity never lets us down He helps us onto the sidewalks when we're walking the town He helps us into the water when we're taking a swim He helps us stay on the floor where we twirl and spin He'll aid us as we're standing so we won't fall off of the floor He'll aid us as we're jumping so we'll always fall back for more He aids us in our brawls So that our fists are sure to fall He aids us in our slumber so that we'll stay in bed together But what if gravity left for a while, And left us to figure out what's up and down Strolling through the town in the sky Not the ground Taking a dive and ending up in the sky Dancing on ceilings and walls And standing on the floor when you suddenly fall Jumping up and not coming back to the ground Gravity has let me down and up you'd gone Up to heaven Up to home

Notes

I have another ending for this poem, but I just can not decide...

Gravity has let me down

And up you went

To whence you were sent

Up to heaven you'd gone

Up to you're home
