The
Carousel
Today
was yesterday
as we two
old friends
helped
Each other
up on two
of the biggest
ponies on
the carousel
That had
been part
of our youth,
now only
faded dreams
remained
Of school
picnics
in the park
we all loved
and knew
so well
Fire
had taken
our beloved
park and
all it's
Wondrous
thrills
leaving
nothing
in the flame's
dance
But the
memory of
our childhood
screams
of delight
And the
beautiful
carousel
spared by
chance
Loving
hands pulled
this timeless
treasure
from it's
pending
doom
Piece by
piece they
toiled and
in time
the worn
old relic
shone
Lights,
music and
mirrors
in all it's
original
glory, better
than new
again
Ponies prancing
proudly,
safely sheltered
now inside
it's new
home
And
now as the
room spins
round and
round the
memories
waken
Children's
laughter
fills the
air once
more as
back in
time
We go to
those simpler
days when
our joys
and thrills
came easy
And the
loudest
laughter
in this
museum today
is yours
and mine
Today
was yesterday
as my pony
stayed way
up high
When the
ride was
over just
like it
always did
when we
were kids
Can't just
hop off
like we
used to
could, nobody's
looking
at us funny
really
The old
ones in
the chariots
wishing
they had
the nerve
to do what
we just
did
