Swingset

There once was a little girl
She one night, by chance
Wandered down to the park
She had ran away from home again

Her mother was screaming as her father
Hit her...hard. And she felt the blood
On her hand and she reached
The swingset, and sat down gently

So softly, feet pushing, kicking hard
Harder than he ever hit her
The rusted metal squeeking harder
Than her mother ever screamed

And the moon cheered her on
The stars said a rhyme
"Go, go, go..." urged the world
"You can do it, you can do it!"

And she kicked so hard that she flew...
Away from that seat she went
And into the sky she lifted
Above the rest of the world!!

And the darkness of the night below
The darkness of the world
Scoffed at her as she laughed on
Angel's wings...and she did fly!

Oh how she did fly!
Further than her imagination
Had ever let her go!!
Into the heavens, out of her pain

And she smiled.
