Painted horses are not just made of wood, they are painted with memories.
Quote by _Bette Largent
______________________________________________
Like all other kids I loved carousel horses,
to me they moved with magical forces;
So, delighted when father took me to the fair,
I rode a painted horse without a care.
Father watched me from the side waving his arm high,
that night . . . I dreamt of riding in the sky;
We went again and I picked a different one,
saying- this one can really leap and run.
I tried all the painted horses going round- round,
with the carousel music . . . a sweet sound;
in time, I was given my own real horse to ride,
but painted horses rode by my side.
