Small, four year old legs stretch
Bend back
S t r e t c h
Bend back
Rhythmically powering a creaky, metal-chained swing
With mounting strength and speed.
“I love the view,”
Emma tells Grammy,
Who is standing near
Ready to lend a push.
Rugged mountains stretch out beyond the playground.
Her legs work hard, carrying her higher.
Reaching, stretching, with all her might,
Emma throws back her head,
Declares,
“Now I’m part of the view!”
