There you go again
my little one,
swinging high
swinging low
flying through the air,
waiting for me
to catch you
like I always do.

Will this set you
up for life
or somewhere
along the way,
could you misjudge
your flight just
once when I'm
not there for you?

But I pray that
never happens
and you keep on
flying high
with trust intact
and someone there
to catch you
the way I do.

Thanks again Kahdai for reading my work, liking this one and taking the trouble to say so. It wasn't about anyone in particular really - more a generalisation about the trust between parent and child.
