Merry-go-round

there is a place

for simpler times

sitting on a merry-go-round

watching life pass by

and all the fun there is

remembering the past

holding onto the present

looking out for the future

a moment arrives

as breath leaves the body

the heart renews

life continues round

the merry-go-round
