My Joy-Ride Offer

Transporting you to childhood days… I*’ll carry your heart to mirth-filled place Glowing with exuberant magical rays Vanquishing gloom of boredom mace Leaving contagious radiance on your face. Join me in this blessed jubilant ride Whirling along merry-go-round tide Such is kids’ achievement of sweet pride Undeniable triumph joyous scream can’t hide… Remember your glee-brightened grin, prettily wide? To your special child, I offer purest delight Calming down his bouts with spastic blight… Come sit with him toward blissful bonding flight Soar above wheelchair’s security-might Braced by faith’s power** --- held by God, lovingly tight. * Carousel personified Personification in Rhyme form **Psalm 68:35 …God … is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God. April 3, 2020 2nd place, "Carousel Picture Prompt" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Eve Roper; judged on 4/7/2020.
