Destiny Rising – A Rhyming Sight on Taking Flight

Destiny Rising –
A Rhyming Sight on Taking Flight

The swing, it forms a graceful arc,
As giggles fill the air.
And wonderment, it fills the park,
With children everywhere.

My daughter squeals, “Push higher, Mum!”
And grips the ropes in glee.
And yet, I ponder what’s to come,
Lost in my reverie.

I grab the swing seat, give a shove,
And she again flies high.
Will she return, to hold my love,
Or grow to bid goodbye?

So back and forth, she gladly sways,
To me and off she swings.
Her independence grows with days,
As mother gives her wings.

For destiny says she must go
And reach up for the skies,
I cannot hold her back, although
I’ll miss our lullabyes.
