Life offers us the opportunity to celebrate every day. Today Is National Merry-Go-Round Day. The Merry-Go-Round is often our first amusement park ride we ever took as a kid. There is something magical about Merry-Go-Rounds, with the beautiful animals to ride on, the lights, and music. Riding a Merry-Go-Round as an adult brings back the joy of childhood. Celebrate today by sharing your favorite memory of riding a Merry-Go-Round! Mine Merry-Go-Round memory is written as a poem.

FLYING HORSES CAROUSEL
the ferry was on its way,
As I looked inward,
put my mind at ease.
once we reached the shore.
our first stop in Oak Bluffs.
We were under a magic spell,
could not be ignored!
lined up behind the pickets.
our delight was hard to hide.
to select a noble steed.
the horse began to hit his groove.
as the ride went around.
I noticed the ring arm,
”Go for the Brass Ring!”
Bob became my human leash,
I knew for sure,
I opened my hand to find,
no free ride was the deal.
I went for the brass.
Bob gave me a kiss.
the love of the best man under the sun!

You said it right. My first amusement park ride was the merry go round but I was much too young to remember the details except that I didn't want to go down after the ride. My dad had to book me on for the next couple of rounds lol.
What a wonderful memory! Your Dad was kind to let continue riding. I'm sure he delighted in your happiness and joy. I cherish the moments with my son as he discovered the world around him. It allowed me to re experience many of the simple joys in life, that we often overlook as adults.
And made you feel like a child again. What a joy!
I have a grandson and he's 2 years old. I already am worried he might grow too fast for me to delight in his toddler days. That's why every opportunity I get, I spend it with him.
Your Grandson is lucky to have a devoted Grandfather.
