Swinging Chance
Hanging by rusty chains,
 Hoping, waiting, wishing
 For attention, someone to share the pain
 Arms wide open, ready to swing
 Hopes were lost as it started to rain
 
 Days passed, each the same as the last
 Neglected time after time 
 The seasons came and went so fast
 One morning a blue bird sang a different rhyme,
 And sent everything back to the past
 
 The family hurried outside into the fresh spring air,
 Leaving distractions behind 
 To gather around the swinging chair
 They were amazed at the joy they could find,
 In the breeze blowing through their hair
 
 A singing bird caused a miracle that morning
 Without that signal, the forgotten chair could have been taken down
 All piled on the beloved swing,
 The family thanked the bird for being around
 And they all began to sing
