Swing me high, swing me far
throw me across the clouds
let me touch the northern star,
and wrap me in divine shrouds.

Push me high and let me fly,
hold my hand when I fall I down,
whisper me a soft good bye,
and let me take my godly crown.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
