The children know <br /> Their hearts delight <br /> Their smiles appear <br /> Their joy takes flight. <br /> The music soars <br /> The song begins <br /> Accompanied by <br /> Small, toothy grins. <br /> The ride begins <br /> The ups and downs <br /> Faster, and faster <br /> These merry-go-rounds. <br /> The thrill of it all! <br /> And the golden ring <br /> This musical ride <br /> Is a wonderful thing! <br /> In childhood's memories <br /> None can excel <br /> The Magic of <br /> The Carousel!<br /><br />Connie Jones Prince<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-magic-of-the-carousel/
