On an Oak Swing...


I escape to the deepest dreams and most honest hopes for myself...

on a swing.

Something about the pumping and pushing raises expectations for myself;
I set new heights for the me I want to be...

on a swing.

The breeze in my hair makes me feel free--free from my own desires for perfection. I somehow find peace in who I am...

on a swing.

As I get higher, I feel closer...to Him. The one who grants me salvation in all my limitations. I find hope...

on a swing.

As soon I start pumping, kicking my legs the frustrations of the day fall from my eyes and I give all my hurt to the wind, all...

on a swing.

Only one thing beats the sensation of soaring to the heights I've dreamed of, it's doing it next to someone I love.
For the rest of my days, I will make my escape, find my pace...

on a swing.
