The old tire swing Hung from the largest tree The block use to be full of kids Everyone grew up lived their life Tree shade for many generations The rope held the tire for years Friends would swing to forget Get away not rush to grow up Couples bonded by the lonely tree Spend time together many memories Brought people closer to one another Years passed the rope strong Holding the tire blows in the wind Leaves fall from the tree Changing with the seasons The shadow of memories From the sunlight so bright
