The one on the swing
Or the one pushing
The one being taught
Or perhaps the one teaching
The one free, the one freeing
The one right, the one wrong
The one playing, the one watching
The one singing, the one listening
On the top, on the bottom
In love or the one being bothered
The best, the worst, in time trying both
A brother, a son, and a father
I’ve been on all sides of many things
Summers, falls, winters, and springs
Time for and no time at all
Tripping another up, or taking a fall
But nobody
Has touched the part of me
I have always saved for just me
Nobody but you will
