the carousel played in the carnival park bright music to lure tinkling lights in the dark spirited ponies, animals quaint all snorting and rearing colored with paint the spinning floor stops for us to get on we choose our mounts it starts with a song up and down go the horses the calliope sings as we go 'round we reach out for the rings sometimes we miss them they go on by but there's always a chance for the second try the turning seasons so very like life you get your good job your husband or wife your car and your boat your kids and their stuff you go 'round and 'round but you can't get enough! then all of a sudden death cuts like a knife and you discover you've wasted your life the scenery, the colors just a smear. just a blurr the music passed by your heart was not stirred! you didn't smell seabreeze feel the wind in your face you didn't seek God missed out on His GRACE LIFE IS THE JOURNEY but you forgot you passed up the beauty without a thought LIFE ISN'T ALL GOLD it don't mean a thing so reach for the Rose as well as the RING reach out for GOD He's important as well when you take your ride on the bright CAROUSEL SoulSurvivor (C) 12/15/2015 c
