Patricia J. Dennis
Santa Clara County Branch, California

A mansion set back
White pillars standing tall

Framed by trees guarding all
Luscious greens so alive
Glistening clean after the rain
Sweet aroma of flowers fill the air

There is a swing
Do we dare
Sit and stay for awhile

Remembering when as a child 
We could swing forever 
And get lost in the
Sky

Head thrown back

Air blowing through our hair
Letting go of the worries 
Soaring through the air

Hearts full of promise
On our way to tomorrow
