My personal favorite... of my own...
[shadow=red,left,300]The Carousel[/shadow]
The music puts them in a trance
With sparkling eyes, they come to dance
To waste the day away,
With sun-kissed faces
And untied shoelaces
They’d come here to play.
A fantasy land, as seen through their eyes
Whirling, twirling under clear blue skies
As if in a dream,
Up and down
And round and round
Shining in a sunbeam.
Illuminated in the light of childish innocence they’d play
Hour after hour, day after day
But time cannot be stopped,
Time passed
Imagination cracked
They had decided to grow up.
No longer could the music play
The cottonball clouds turned to gray
The magic had been lost,
The dream broken
No longer it motion
Covered with vines and moss.
Forgotten… year-by-year would pass
Only seen through eyes of glass
They hold the secret, but cannot tell,
They’ve all grown up
They’ve all forgot
Their once-living dream, The Carousel
