Swing

Swing - backwards - forwards - back again
Swing - plastic seat - two metal chains
Swing - smiles wide - joy untold
Swing - no one knew how things would unfold

Swing - slow at first then higher high
Swing - kicking legs with all her might
Swing - one bolt falls loose and out she flies
Swing - all hear the sharp, sad, painful cries

Swing no more only shattered bone
No one could have guessed this unknown
Skull broken, brain enlarged
Swing - joyful again in her angels arms
