My Carousel Horse

When I was three I loved riding my wooden horse,                                                                                                          going round and round would keep me on course.                                                                                                I would ride him up and then down,                                                                                                                  then we would go back around.



When I had children of my own,                                                                                                                          my wooden horse was loved by daughter Joan.                                                                                               She would ride and ride,                                                                                                                                       with her eyes opened wide.



Now my grandchild loves my wooden horse,                                                                                                                I can hear giddy up in her voice.                                                                                                                                     Boy how time has blown by,                                                                                                                                        now I watch my wooden horse and just sigh.
