Little shoes and dreams big.

Little girl with dreams big

Smiled when she saw

the red seesaw in the park.

Oh, how she smiled when she saw the Seesaw!

She saw it move up and down.

How it stopped at height and

swiftly moved towards the ground

Made her wonder, why it wouldn’t fly

Why while going up it stopped

and never took a flight?

Little girl with eyes wide

Wanted to touch the sky

She wondered if the seesaw

would let her fly high.

No matter how bright

Or pretty it may be, she hated

when all it did was go low.

It was gloomy and wrong

to go down back to the ground.

Little girl with hopes strong

Smiled wide as she pushed the ground.

She knew what was coming next,

Her effort made her glide up again.

She still couldn’t fly or touch the sky

But she knew that after every low

there is a high.

To every fall, there was a rise!

That to every fall, there is a rise.
