Our front porch swing in Dover, PA

On a podcast last night Chuck Swindoll quoted lyrics from a country and western song by Waylon Jennings and it reminded me of our front porch swing...


Splintered wood rusty chains this old front porch swing remains
A pendulum of memories goes back and forth on a summer breeze
Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes 

From the days way back before my time
With a little child upon my knee singing every sweet word back to me
Look how far I had to come to get back where I started from
With a child's wisdom passing time
Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes

So howl you lone coyote song fade to sapphire sky of dawn
Count me in the lucky men to send the world around again
Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes...
