Angel In the Swing

Taking a lonely walk I rember the day
when I did this walk with you 
as if it were yesterday.
We were knee high kids in that day
as we held hands along the walk
heading down to the park.
You had me push the swing higher
in that warm summer breeze 
and your golden hair glimmered 
in the rays of the sun.
For many years we did this in youth
even the day we married 
we stopped to swing high.
Three years ago your swing went 
empty but I still come
to remember our days so high.
I know you still there in that swing 
even though the cancer took you away 
because I here your voice on the wind
saying higher yet higher.
