Ebony locks flying,
The tiny girl swings,
Her dark eyes bright
As she soars wingless
On a steel swing set.
Autumn wind listens
To her airy laughter
And the simple tunes
She hums in soft alto,
Legs swinging back
And forth to the beat.

Hi Sanjana,

I know your dad/mum and your uncle/aunt.  This should not not take away anything from my appreciation of this work.  In fact I'm glad I was shown this.

It paints a light happy picture.

Keep your effort going!
