Swing Sets

Life’s a set of swings,

Alone in the wind.

For all the joy it brings,

Was left to rust again.

 

The wind just keeps on swinging,

And life just breathes in air.

And how the swings will long,

To swing without a care.

 

And all the world’s a playground.

The children harsh and cruel.

And all their parents foolish,

Hearts all cold as jewels.

 

The wind just keeps on swinging,

And life just breathes in air.

And how the swings will long,

To watch from nearer there.

 

If all the lives are hoping,

For only one more swing,

Then life is like this swing set,

And shares the joy it brings.

 

The wind just keeps on swinging,

And life just breathes in air.

And how the swings will swing now,

A mystery to bear.

I found this one on my computer from a few years ago. I have no idea what I was talking about.

i like it . The idea behind this is sweet and kind. I wonder does it matter to the wind if we were here or not?

well it sounds like you were talking about life when you get older you think a lot about obscure things
from the past how the swings are now idle rusting in the wind while you look on wishing you were there once again go ahead swing one more time

I think I was probably talking about something about that. I think I'd just finished high school when I wrote it. Kind of an "Oh no, I have to be an adult now" kind of thing, maybe? Anyways, thanks for reading!
