Flying High

Flying High

She dug her toes into the sand to get a good start,
then leaned back and pointed her legs to the sky.
Swinging was her favorite pastime.

She pumped higher and higher
and smiled into the open air,
feeling her hair take flight in the breeze.

When she was small, it was her mother's strength
that propelled her upward.
But today she was the person in control.

 The world was hers.

 She could fly.
