Just some thoughts...

Every day, as I write Poetiquejustis, I pray it will be a blessing to someone.
Today, I hope it is you.

Give it a swing!

 

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing...
Duke Ellington



Swing in your step


Swinging on a star


                                                                     Swing Your Partner
                                                   
                                            Or just get your feet off the ground and swing!
                                 Somehow today, take heed of the words of 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,
                                                    River 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!
                                                We may have to grow up
                                                  But we do not have to lose our swing
                                                 and that's poetiquejustis

                 But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like     eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
