Tire Swing

Listen to poem:
Just a tire on a rope, hangin from a limb in the yard, No big thing. But this sight is special for those who learn life lessons from a tire swing. You can do it, just hang on, Your turn now to ride upon, the tire swing. I will push ,but not to high, Your not ready to reach for the sky on the tire swing. Sit in the tire or ride on top, Drag your feet when you want to stop this tire swing. Spinning around or swinging out, Making choices is what life is about on the tire swing. Dreaming and hoping as you glide to and fro, There is so much more for you to know, all alone on this tire swing. Just a tire on a rope, hangin from a limb in the yard , No big thing. But this sight is special for those who learned life lessons from the tire swing.

This brought back wonderful childhood nostalgia. I remember hanging a tire swing too close to the trunk and making my younger sister try my new swing first. Another lesson learned is to "go out on a limb" Lol. So many great lessons can be learned here. Great write!
