See Saw

                        See                                Saw I climb on and settle into the timeworn seat,                 My best friend on the other side dangling her feet. I trust her to maintain the delicate balance,                   While we bounce to the sky, our fear in abeyance. So many times we have embarked on this ride,                      Too often I have fallen hurting only my pride. Dusting myself after a very bad tumble,                      Glancing at my happiness and feeling so humble. She sweetly smiled, picked me up and gave me a kiss,                         My fragile emotions she would never dismiss. Once again we fly towards the seas in the sky,                         Abruptly falling  to earth we let out a cry. This ride has its perils and moments that transcend,                       Not bad for a toy that only drops and ascends.
