Old Garden Swing - Poets Lyric Man and Seren

OLD GARDEN SWING Oh, recollection is such a powerful thing I think of us together on this old garden swing Our love was birthed when we first danced You were my music we were so entranced That first touch and we couldn't let go It wasn't intentional but we put on a show Music slowed down and you held me tight When you leaned in to kiss me I didn't fight Saw it in your blue eyes mine were thinking it too A private dance would be nice Yeah, just me and you The summer was hot the temperature high Inhibitions gave way we danced in the sky Then autumn came and things got cold We tried so hard but our love couldn't hold You packed your bags but left me memories The good and the bad those sweet miseries Now Spring has arrived got this letter from you I'm on my old garden swing ..wondering what I'll do Date: 8-20-14 Poets: Seren & Lyric Man

Dear Dave, Congratulations on having the poem of the day! It's easy to see why this was chose. We all have memories of lost loves, especially those in our youth where we danced and cuddled on the garden swings. Let your heart tell you where to follow up with the letter. Love, Carolyn
