The Ferris Wheel of Life

The Ferris Wheel Of Life                          3/19/15 Alleya Joy Kolar

Living is riding a Ferris wheel.
With many highs and many lows.
Sometimes with horrid factors that make the ride not fun.

Your parents give the teller the ticket and up you go.
You continue to grow,
Up Up and away you go!

As you go up the Ferris wheel,
You see more of the festival,
More of the crowd,
More of the circus.
More happiness.

When the wheel starts to turn past the highest point,
When the scenes of happiness start to slip.
You got a closer view.
Seeing nothing but inside of you.

See that when things are down,
When the ride is lacking in height,
You get to see yourself.
So when you’re back to the top, 
remember.

Remember to love in and out,
And know that if you look within,
You can always find more.

Alleya: This has already been reviewed by some of Soups best. Rather than add a comment, I will direct you to simply re-read theirs. Keep them coming. oldbuck
