Higher Please

The wind blows with it I move memory stirs with the breeze. Small feet swinging, beat giggles; “Daddy push me please!” The wind blows with it I move retrospection stirs with the breeze. “Higher Daddy!” “Higher!” Faint, soft memories. The wind blows with it I move longing stirs with the breeze. Small feet, pump, pull and shriek; “STOP, stop” “Daddy!” “Please”

Deborah, I picked this poem randomly, but when I read the words it tugged my heart! Thank you, for allowing me to re-work your poem! You reminded me of some wonderful memoriesof my own childhood. Again, thank you!

I love this write, it brings back those memories of wanting to swing all day, sometimes I think about those days when I pass a park, and all the children are swinging, and having so much fun....always, Christy

This one stirred up some memories...I remember wanting to go higher and higher, then would get frightened! Well done, Deborah! ~ Carrie
