She wants to go to the Park-
Demanding. I give in.
It’s that little girl again,
I see, on the swing!
Hair flying behind,
Screaming her way to the top!
Hooting all the way back,
Egging me on, to push
Her further up!
Indulgent, I give in,
Again-
With a warning:
“The last time, now…!“
And… as she comes down
(Having gone further up!)
She leaps off
And lands
On me!
Knocking the breath out-
Of both of us!
Instinctively, I hold her,
Tightly-
Closely;
For I hold my universe
In the circle of my arms!
Giggling, rubbing noses-
Breath mingles!
What a moment!
The magic intensifies
When I thank God, that
We never changed inside;
We never grew older;
Than our beautiful
Grandchildren!
Laughing around us!
