To a green wood swing
built for two, that perfectly fits just me and you. Built by daddy's hands, through the years it still stands, though a little rough and worn for it's seen many a morn. We treat it with care as we pack it away from the winter air, but oh, come Spring we bring it back out first thing, ready to enjoy the green wood swing. How I've come to love the feel of the rough wood and paint beginning to peel, and the creaking sound as we gently swing and listen to the birds joyfully sing. On the green wood swing we watch the sun rise to our left and set to our right, and gaze at the stars shining bright in the night. A haven to read and write, to laugh and have fun, set in the shade, away from the sun. Many a morning and evening spent here with you, sitting on the green wood swing made just for two. Peaceful and content, we have not one lament, as we watch another day go by staring up at the evening sky. We thank God for small blessings and an old green wood swing. ~Liz Austin 2019
