The Old Garden Swing

The Old Garden Swing The old garden swing creaking to and fro, holding treasured memories of long ago. Familiar faces, young and old emerge from the past and start to unfold. Ghostly voices surround this place which only the arm of time can trace. Children's laughter from simple pleasure, throughout the years that no-one can measure. People of all ages, friends and family have sat on this seat suspended from this tree. Secrets shared and romances begun, all witnessed by the setting sun. A lover's tryst and a childhood delight , in a secluded corner out of sight. The overgrown garden from years of neglect, awaiting restoration to revive and protect. Then the swing which was hidden will be used again with a new lease of life and its purpose regained.
