Poem
One day there was a Carousel A "Special One" of course! That taught "this" pretty little girl A lesson! Of a sort! The Carousel was so Beautiful! Unique in everyway! With horses going round and round All while the music played! But there was something different About this Carousel It had a "challenge with it! Of which, I now will tell! You see it had a wooden arm that extended to its riders To let them reach out gingerly, A "SILVER RING" to acquire!! For many years, I was too small to even reach the "RING"! But, Dad just kept telling me- The "Silver Ring" you must "Desire"! Everytime I rode it, I tried a little harder. To reach the "RING" out of my reach.... Thank Goodness for my Father! Then! One day! "I DID IT!" I HAD A "SILVER RING"! It trully was so wonderful And to it I did CLING! My Dad he looked so Proud of me! And I was Proud of him! He was the one who helped me get- THAT "PRECIOUS" SILVER RING! Now, he's gone! But, I know now... The lesson this has taught! As I sat up upon that horse And for "THAT RING" I fought! You see, in life there are some things That are JUST OUT OF YOUR REACH! If you, with strength, just "HOLD ON TIGHT" YOU'LL GET THAT "SILVER RING"!! THE "RING" IS ALL OUR HOPES AND DREAMS. THE THINGS WE MOST "DESIRE"! SO HOLD ON TIGHT! AND DON'T LET GO! AND "YOUR RING" YOU WILL ACQUIRE! DEDICATED TO MY FATHER: FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT HE GIVE ME IN LIFE!!!
