I sat outside on a Summer's eve and I watched the swallows dance
They swooped and darted
Sliding, gliding
My farm cat had no chance!
And as I watched them fly I felt
An unbridled childlike glee
For they flew with such delightful Joy
It brought out the child in me
I thought..
Maybe they hold the spirits of all
The people that died young
The souls that never got a chance
to become an older one
What if their spirits could live on again
In a form so pure and free
That was drawn to Summer sun and light
And had endless energy
And as I sat there thinking on
One swallow flew quite near
And I'd swear I heard it say to me
ā Look Mam no handsā !
As it flew on right past my ear
