Swing little girlSwing high to the skyAnd don’t ever look at the groundIf you’re looking for rainbowsLook up to the skyYou’ll never find rainbowsIf you’re looking downLife may be drearyBut never the sameSome day it’s sunshineSome day it’s rainSwing little girlSwing high to the skyAnd don’t ever look to the groundIf you’re looking for rainbowsLook up to the skyBut never, no never, look down..
**************************This is one of Charlie Chaplin's songs that Cat really love to hear again and again.
Cat is not a brave person. Everyone, in the park, was trying to make their swings go higher and higher until it seems like the ropes would break, and they were going to fly up to the sky. Some were even standing on the swings, showing off their skills , no doubt.
While being happy for them, Cat just enjoy swinging low. and enjoying the breeze. At the same time dreaming of things. Lost in her own world till it's time to go home. Mom would make a big fuss when she saw Cat's shoes (dusty.. as Cat used them to kick at the sand each time her feet landed on the ground, so that the swing would not stop swinging).
Though Cat is older now, Cat still like to have a go on the swings. (Particularly when no one is around. Grown ups are not supposed to play with the playthings there, for fear that their big frames will break the toys). Thankfully Cat's small size allows her to break the rules from time to time :D
Just to feel the breeze teasing and running through the hair, the hot sun giving it's warmth and light, and to loose yourself again in memories..with no thoughts at all of current problems. How Cat loves swinging to and fro.. and forget all the sad things..
~Cat~
Life as it is..Sometimes it rains and sometimes the sun shines brighter than ever...
