I Sigh With the Wind

So many days on the playground I'd spend Sharing laughter with siblings and friends Enjoying the ups and down of a see-saw ride Having fun going down the slide Soaring, as the swings took us higher and higher Touching the sky seemed to be our desire The wind is the only visitor to the playground now This sight brings sadness to my brow I sigh with the wind as it sways the swing Of childhood days which memories now bring - 9-26-18 Lines Of Ten That Remind You What It Was Like Back Then Contest Sponsor: Silent One
