Mike Samford Poet Rhyme

I Swing, I Swing

“Children need poetry too!”


Faster –higher; up and up I go!
Back and forth and to and fro!

The ground beneath my feet a blur.
The wind in my face is all astir!

I am a bird with chain for wings.
Oh! How I love to swing and swing

I kick my feet, I throw my weight
I'm feeling freedom, it feels so great.

I laugh and scream I have such fun
I swing and swing til day is done.

Then in my bed and in my dreams
I swing, I swing -I swing, I swing!
