The Swing

One of my favorite books growing up was,

Robert Louis Stevenson's',

A Child's Garden of Verses

One little story was called The Swing.

I loved this one and would always pretend it was me in the story.

The words keep coming to mind because my kids are obsessed

with swinging lately.

That is the only reason they really want to go to the park is to swing.

Alyssa just learned to swing by herself so it makes it a little more fun for her.

I love to see how happy it makes them.

They could go forever.....

The Swing

How do you like to go up in a swing,

Up in the air so blue?

Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing

Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall,

Till I can see so wide,

Rivers and trees and cattle and all

Over the countryside-

Till I look down on the garden green,

Down on the roof so brown-

Up in the air I go flying again,

Up in the air and down!

~Robert Louis Stevenson
