Grandma and Grandpas Swing

My grandfather put up the swing when he courted grandma
I know it had a history only known to the two of them
It was always there, in the thirty-seven years I knew them.

The day grandfather died, I watched the swing fly up in the air
Grandma materialized briefly and smiled at me.
That’s how I knew he had made it to heaven.

You did not go there! Oh yes you did! Smiling now but Trixie is furious.
