SWINGING TO THE MOON AND STARS

SWINGING TO THE MOON AND STARS ..



When I was just a little girl
so many years ago..
With my fantasies in tow ..

I would  love to swing ..
I would swing so high ..
To the moon and stars 
I would  fly ...

The hills  before me would wrap 
me with their splendor ..
The fields of grass and orchards
Surround me so  green and tender..

I would swing to take me  far from harm..
Give me grace , filled me with joy, pleasure,
without alarm...

I would escape while flying high  on that swing..
My heart was full, my spirit free, 
Such simple happiness it would bring ..
To travel to the great beyond for me ..

Age has not taken the girl inside of me..
Every night, with my fantasies in tow..
I close my eyes and I am young and free..
It is off to the moon and stars I go ..

I shall never grow old as long as I can swing..
Memories and such happiness it  shall always bring ..
