The Rope Swing

The Rope Swing By Elton Camp Swings were a kid’s favorite place Feeling so free with air in the face Back and forth, higher each time A joy so simple that it’s sublime Not too high the adults would say Because you can get hurt that way It was true if a rope should break A very nasty fall a child could take The tiny risk was well justified For the enjoyment it did provide It’s decades since I’ve used a swing I’d like to feel again what it does bring I may risk someone laughing at me As I go back and forth with glee “Look at that childish old man” I’m going to try it if ever I can!
