Attempt at some cheerful thoughts

I know a vintage carousel
the horses paint is slightly chipped
the music tinny at its best
but still they love to rise and dip.

The blue one has the sweetest smile
and next to him a red one winks
with just a bit of innocence
I think I'll ride upon the pink.

Sit next to me and hold my hand
let's take a ride under the sun
I will glide up as you drift down
forget the world, let's just have fun.

Oh catalina I love this so so much. Makes me want to go dig out my carousel poem. This is simply lovely, and I am glad you are feeling a bit better. floria

Sit next to me and hold my hand
let's take a ride under the sun
I will glide up as you drift down
forget the world, let's just have fun.

Love that last line especially, think you've found a key here.

~It's wonderful, calming almost to read this lighter you, especially now Sandra, with all that you are struggling with. I say you have to get yourself down here this summer and ride the 1928 wooden carousel with 66 horses, 2 Roman chariots and a Wurlitzer 146 band organ that we have here, with me. I tried to attach photos, oh it's hopeless, though I have this link I'll send you. - Continue to build on these peaceful thoughts you and take care of yourself. I enjoyed this. ~A.
