The Swing

I was going to add a native poem about the swing, but the content of the poem was about falling off, getting hurt, and not  being sure if one should get on again...so I added this one instead..(  also because it is one of my mom's favorites).

The Swing
BY ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON
How do you like to go up in a swing,
   Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the  
       pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall,
   Till I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all
   Over the countryside—

Till I look down on the garden green,
   Down on the roof so brown—
Up in the air I go flying again,
   Up in the air and down!

I have not tried it. I was thinking about it once, at a swing near the school, but I get sick going back and forth,
                                        back and forth,
                                                               back and forth...
 so I did not risk it.
