“And the seasons, they go round and round,
And the painted ponies go up and down.
We’re captive on the carousel of time.”
Joni Mitchell

Life is like a carousel
That spins within our life
And we are only passengers
Riding along up and down
While the world spins slowly around

Life is such a carousel
Brilliant colors, shiny objects
For all to see and touch
Music from every style and range
For all to hear and love

Life was once a carousel
For all the young and old
No worries or cares
Just simple joys
Love once made our world go around

Life is just a carousel
With all it’s ups and downs
You must hold on
Until the ride is over
And then you must step down

“Could anyone among us have an inkling or a clue
What magic feats or wizardry and voodoo you can do?
And who would ever guess what powers you possess
And who would not be stunned to see you prove
There’s more to us than surgeons can remove
So much more than we ever knew
So much more were we born to do
Should you draw back the curtain, this I am certain
You’ll be impressed with you”
Alan Jay Lerner

Mid afternoon on the Esplanade
It’s as clear as my eyes can see
Watching the dolphins and sea lions
Skimming through the water
Watching the seagulls and pelicans
Flying, floating smoothly and so free

My mind is clear of clutter
My thoughts are few between
Except for one beautiful song in my head
By the dear Alan Jay Learner
Sung by the great Barbara Streisand
On a Clear Day – You Can See Forever
