“Push me, Daddy!”
\n“Higher.”
\n“Higher!”
\nThe giggles are loud and infectious as my toes touch the sky.
\nThe colors swirl around me, becoming one as I fly through them.
\nKnowing he is behind me,
\nI live in the moment, enjoying the thrill.<\/p>\n
“Push me, Daddy!”
\n“Higher.”
\nI smile ear-to-ear as my toes graze the tops of the fields.
\nThe steady colors lining my vision.
\nKnowing he is behind me,
\nI enjoy the moment.<\/p>\n
“Push me, Daddy!”
\nI close my eyes and smile, as my toes scrape across the ground.
\nThe colorful flowers sitting on the side.
\nKnowing he is behind me,
\nI treasure the moment.<\/p>\n
“Push me, Baby Girl.”
\nHis smile is warm as he picks up his feet.
\nThe touch of his hand comforting, as he places it on mine.
\nAnd knowing I am behind him,
\nI thank God for this moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
