Do they still have the golden ring?
where gilded horses prance, to music sing
Amidst the whirl of faces blurred
while sparkling steeds got gently spurred

To reach out and grasp, as you flew by
with outstretched hand under blue sky
Ahhh, the fingers touched that worthy prize
next time around, surely, with shining eyes

Then with a poof, the image is gone
but in the heart, still plays that song
And reaching out for that golden ring
for the free ride, it will surely bring

In the mind, it is never brass
only purest gold, was it always cast
So ride the ride that ever goes on
starting each day with its break of dawn

With the day, ride that carousel white
reach for that ring with all your might
For it is not really the prize, don’t you see
it is only to keep reaching, that is life’s key

Hmm..I've spent my time telling you how wonderful your heart and your poetry is. It is one of my favorite things to do, Sweet Warrior! This is no less brilliant than all your other wisdoms and beauties.

May love and light always shine upon you!
