A poignant poem about swing and the joys of Nature, by Sarala, exclusively for Different Truths.
My life has been a swing for long time Left to right and right to left I swing without fear and with force I swing up too plucking the green leaves on the tree I loved my swing which was Made of a long coir rope Tying both sides of the tree and I enjoyed my swinging with a friend of mine I had the confidence to Swing along with singing songs of Nature as I am a nature’s child grown up in The sweat of the sun! When I felt the need I should be successful in life I turn to my swing which has So far never disappointed me! A swing is a swing for me always And my mood swings Disappeared so fast as I swing left, right, and upward!
