Notes About The Poem

Carousel

I hear their laughter and see their bright smiles,
Going round and round with joy together,
Their rhapsody reaches far beyond miles,
I hear their laughter.

I believe their dreams make this world brighter,
Rich childhood experiences in wee while
Will teach the love to make them grow better, 
A hold of their hands, a care that's tactile.

Carousel, a cradle of young dreamer,
Children galloping up and down in style
I hear their laughter.

Carousels are great for children in an amusement park. This child in your pic is so happy. God bless her. A happy childhood is precursor of a happy adulthood. A carousel is a symbol of great childhood and hence a metaphor for happiness. Love Leonora XXXXX RAJAT

Dentzel carousels featuring handcrafted horses and animals back in the 1800's are now priceless antiques. your words captures the spirit of innocence. children pure in their joy. your words like the art form of an original Dentzel priceless. thank you. P.S. Linda sent me. ( sorry if my comment sounded like a credit card commercial. that was not my intent but rather to pay you the highest of compliments.)
