2ND CHILDHOODAuthor: RedexI waited until all was clear
No kids or mothers to glare and peer
I wanted to try a swing without fear
Of anyone laughing out right and clear

Bum on the seat, feet on the ground
A little scuffle and pushed around
Up I went with a little sway
A leg back and now forward is the way
Higher I went into the air
Just the ticket I thought its fair

Not realizing 16 kids in a ring did pounce
My face was burning the brightest red
All the kids clapped and cheered
I stopped the swing and jumped right down
Ran off shouting that was sound

Yes swinging is such fun, even as grown ups.

Thanx for the youth you bring to your poems,weather your just feeling a bit silly, or playing. We all get to enjoy.What a blessing..JG

Dear Redex, we grow up only in appearance. Our hearts are the same from the cradle to the grave. Their storages increase, but they remain intact in nature. Wordsworth says "The Child is father of the Man."
