~The Carousel Of Life~

On the carousel of life we wonder

With expectations of living so high

Dreams that reality have put asunder

In sadness we think with a sigh.

Hearts torn by promises thrown to the birds

That devours our trust, like water to fire

Believing in ourselves brings our knowing

Some that we love are a liar.

To the dreams of fairness we had hope

With the one our life had us matched

Like a broken winged bird, trying to fly

From the one that our hopes are attached.

In vision we fantasize deep in our mind

Of one like us in so many ways

In the visual eye of our thoughts

Imagination will rule our dark dreary days.

So many alike are the humans today

With their heads in the clouds of pride

Undeserving of the praise they receive

In the shadows of life they reside.

Beauty is judged not by the eyes on ones face

Which were made not only seeing with lust

Buts its only through the love in our heart

That we earn the most valuable trust.

As the carousel glides down the path

Of wisdom learned along the way

Never ever look behind you

For behind you is only yesterday.
