On Seesaws and Swings
Is it true that I was taught
About life on seesaws and swings
On this playground I thought
Learning all the lessons I got
I would scream in elation
When I was right up
High at the very top
That touched the sky
And then I would fall with
The weight right down
Falling on my knees
Touching the ground
And in all of my happiness
I forgot, that I was never
Meant to fly, and with a sigh!
That’s when I dropped
Right down from the sky!
