Swings at Recess
First the wait
Tick
Tock
Shuffling foot to foot
Then my turn to rule
Scrambling to my seat I start
Swinging And swaying higher
Higher
Higher
And now I'm a superhero
A fairy
A bird
I'm flying faster
Faster
Faster
Running against the screaming wind
Somehow its as if the success of my height
Is the greatest of any before it
Pumping and swinging my legs in a robotic trend
Reach
Reach
Reach the goal
RIIIING
School bell rings to end my play
¨You looked like you were having fun, huh?¨
¨Yeah...¨

I just wish that it had read "reached the goal" just as the bell rings. But the child will keep trying. This takes me back a couple of years, Miranda. Thanks.

Nice write my friend. Love how the enthusiasm building and building, then the damn school bell crushes it. Just like so many things in life.
