TO THE TOP OF THE SKY<\/font><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

Closing my eyes
\n and swinging so high,
\n I\u2019m quite sure my feet
\n are touching the tops
\n of the clouds and the sky
\n as I\u2019m leaving all cares
\n and stresses
\n of this world behind
\n as I watch them
\n ever so slowly
\n fade out of sight.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

Though I still see them
\n behind me as I swing up so high,
\n I inhale the sweet fragrance
\n of freedom as I rise
\n way above them
\n to the crystal blue
\n of the sky,
\n to that place that I visit,
\n where serenity flows
\n and infuses my heart
\n and imagination
\n with moonbeams
\n and sunshine\u2019s glow.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

And for a time
\n as I linger in this place,
\n there\u2019s nothing at all
\n that can change the smile
\n within my heart
\n and on my face.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
