Our Porch Swing

On The Porch Swing

 

On our swing we discussed many things

Some good and some bad

It was where we shared our little problems

And some major with dear old dad

 

We would swing there on the porch

With dad in his chair

While mother leant a hearing ear

To the subject of our despair

 

Uncles would sometimes come along

And share their advice a bit

I grew to appreciate their help

As they knew the things I did

 

Girls were often my heartache

With breakups here and there

My mom’s response was For Pete’s sake

There and women everywhere

 

There was a confidentiality

No matter what we discussed

It was family we really needed

And in our family we could trust
