Swingingby Mattie Stepanek
So high...
Wind tickles my tummy
Plays with my feet
Gives my hair a ride.
So high...
Grab a leaf from a tree
Reach a so-far-up branch
See over the edge of my earth.
So high...
Meditate on being
Touch all my thoughts
Think about friends
And families and
Brothers and sisters.
So high...
Leave this world for a bit
Jump into Heaven for a moment
Then, swing back into my life again.
So high...
-August 1998

I love to swing, I feel all the same emotions as Mattie wrote in his poem. It is a way to escape to a magical place for a few moments just by the way the gliding of the swing back and fourth makes you feel. Thank You for sharing Mattie with us. I loved his site. He is in a very special place with Our Father. That in itself is a great comfort.
i felt myself swinging as i was reading the words. a delightful interlude.
Mattie was an amazing soul.
i so ♥ Mattie!
