Our love is like a playground we return to each day
Where the fun and laughter never fade away
There, we ride the seesaw of affection and of feelings freely expressed
And climb the ropes of trust that hold our hearts caressed
This sweet playground of love is where we long to stay

Commentary
This poem imagines love as a playground the couple returns to every day, filled with laughter, trust and affection. Each piece of playground equipment becomes a picture of a quality in their relationship.
The speaker likens the couple’s love to “a playground we return to each day,” a place “Where the fun and laughter never fade away.” It is somewhere familiar, safe and joyful.
Play becomes emotional: the couple “ride the seesaw of affection,” the give and take of feelings “freely expressed,” and “climb the ropes of trust that hold our hearts caressed.” The poem ends with the wish to remain there: “This sweet playground of love is where we long to stay.”
