Carousel Ride

Carousel Ride   Carousel Ride    Handsome Steed upon brass pole Color black and mane of gold Saddle red with reins of brown   Forever circling ... Round and Round   Tiger striped with colors bold With snarling fangs you ride the pole In children's dreams you can be found   Slowly moving ... Round and Round   Swans of white with seat between So much a part of lover's dreams You too hold a spot on this magic stage To preserve the promise of this day Bright flashing lights Red white and blue Laughter at the sight of you Joyous hearts and hopes abound As you circle ... Round and Round   A child's first ride A memory made To be called upon another day Parents just behind the scenes Remembering now their childhood dreams Music swells and laughter sings Arms outstretched for your brass ring Figures moving up and down   Ever circling ... Round and Round   Zebras Lions Swans and Steeds Forever play in children's dreams Preserve the past of memories found As you turn slowly round and round Dear Carousel you are a sight That fills the heart with pure delight Some say your age is almost gone How I pray that they are wrong In this world of fears and woes It is of comfort for the heart to know That great pleasure can still be truly found In a simple ride   ... Just moving ... Round and Round   AspiringAngel Its A Small World -

A beautiful piece of writing, in that it is filled with magical images. It takes me back to my childhood.

I love this one. It brings back sweet memories of just being a little girl...fun at the boardwalk. Those were the days!!! I still the carousel. Love your descriptions of the animals. Great detail. This one just made me smile.
Kisses,

When in love, you are never too old for a ride on a Carousel
As a child we ride the Carousel with great joys,
Funny how when in love we head back to that same spot
Knowing that true love is the only thing that can
match or sometimes top this wonderful joy felt as a child
I enjoyed this write
Nice job

Sweetie this is so beautiful and takes me back to a
carefree time of childhood when the world seemed
a bit brighter and kinder. As I have said so many times
the Adult world is an ugly place that is why I refuse
to grow up!!!! Awesome my sweet
Hugs and Luv
