We See What We Want To See

I thank the man who invented the Ferris Wheel 
Something so romantic, amusing and adventurous 
It takes you closer to the stars and let’s you see the sea
Take a ride, else you won’t understand the fuss

Children jump and hop and yell with joy 
At the sight of a big circle they can ride
From miles away, it’s as small as a toy
From miles away, an amusement park’s pride

The journey to reach the top
So long, yet so beautiful
Don’t look down if you’re afraid you’ll fall
Enjoy the view, so blissful 

Up and Down, Up and Down 
Until it’s finally time to get off 
“So long my friend”, but you don’t frown 
Because years later with your lover, you’re back on top
