The Porch Swing!

Little Girl on the family porch swing!

Swinging to & fro

With one eye on the clock of time

The other looking at her partner of the night

She had warmed a seat next to her

In the shadows where they could not be seen

John, suddenly startled her sitting,
snuggling mighty close

Her longing for him was deep inside
she felt excited for him the very most!

The wanting melted her in his arms
and they hugged as one on fire

He whispered that he loved her
Her first kiss was given then of course

His hand found her teen’s softness and she slapped him,
but she wanted more of this of course

She said don’t do that and he replied
Of all the girls ~ I want you the very most!

She said I am only thirteen and never did
this before

She was going to give into him, but then
Her mother came to the outside kitchen door ~

Rachel it’s time to come in,
you have to say goodnight to John

That night she dreamed of John
and it set her heart on fire

Later on, she had learned that he
was just a romantic liar!

She had learned lesson one
In growing up ~ from girlhood ~
To womanhood.

He had professed that he loved her
just to get what some men want

As Rachel’s life passed by
the swing would change to the back seat of a car,
a living room couch and after marriage a honeymoon hotel ~

It all started on a family porch swing ~
