Playground

an analogy to life...

By Tracy ToccaraPublished 5 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

Sitting on a bench, gazing far and wide,

I see a place where life's lessons reside.

A merry-go-round, in circles it goes,

Like seasons' change, and life's ebbs and flows.

A sea-saw's rhythm, up and down it swings,

Like days of joy and sorrow, life's offerings.

A swing set's motion, back and forth it flies,

Pushing forward from the past, reaching for skies.

A slide awaits, stairs high, a swift descent,

Coasting through life's challenges, well spent.

The tubular slide, a journey smooth and fast,

Replicating progress, in memories cast.

These recreations, in their simple grace,

Mirror life's structure, its pace.

Analogies to our being, so clear,

In every creation, life draws near.
