Swinging

High above the hustle
 and bustle  
of everyday life  
 I have found my niche'  
A safe place, a quiet space  
where I am content  

Ever climbing higher  
drawn to all that inspires  
I'm swinging and I am singing  
accepting all that comes and  
letting go of all that goes  
In this simple life of mine  
 
To make sense of the world  
around me  
Is what I crave above all else  
I have faced my demons  
and I've accepted myself  
 
A better life I couldn't see  
than the one given to me  
While many times  
I ve gone astray  
through grace I've always  
found my way  
 
It is with gratitude  
I start my day  
and courage to face  
what comes my way  
I will just keep swinging  
at a steady pace
