On summer days when rays of youth suntanned My ivory skin, I sat upon the swing With little pink toes dangling in the sand Fingers curled around the rusted chains Calloused hands push firmly on my back Propelled me higher into the blue sky Naively I thought these days would never die But now the summer leaves hang lifelessly From fading trees, fall slowly to the ground A quiet dignity in their decline And now you sit upon the swing. I push You down florescent halls, but still you smile As we reminisce about the summer sun In memories our happiness is found

Swinging
On summer days when rays of youth suntanned My ivory skin, I sat upon the swing With little pink toes dangling in the sand Fingers curled around the rusted chains Calloused hands push firmly on my back Propelled me higher into the blue sky Naively I thought these days would never die But now the summer leaves hang lifelessly From fading trees, fall slowly to the ground A quiet dignity in their decline And now you sit upon the swing. I push You down florescent halls, but still you smile As we reminisce about the summer sun In memories our happiness is found
