The Carousel

There was close-by a SPECIAL PLACE!
I'd go to as a child.

It looked a lot like a circus tent...
But, it was MORE than that- INSIDE!!

For as you entered, Its domain,
What a wonder you would see!

Horses on a Carousel!
A CAROUSEL MADE FOR "ME"!!!!

Round and round and round
You'd go!
With lights and mirrors bright! 
And to a little girl like me,
You were and "Awesome" sight!

I'd pick a horse to ride on,
The prettiest I could find!
And get myself up on it,
And ride you for a time!!

I never will forget the days,
I rode that CAROUSEL!

You'll always be a part of me!
IN MY HEART YOU WILL ALWAYS DWELL!!

You made me feel so "SPECIAL"
As I rode you round and round!
So "SPECIAL"  that I almost felt,
like I was wearing a CROWN!!

Today, you are no longer there-
They have taken you away!

BUT! soon, I hear, 
you'll once again-

GIVE SOMEONE ELSE....
A SPECIAL RIDE!!!
(MAYBE MY GRANDCHILDREN!!!!)
