MERRY  GO  ROUND

Looking back, I’ve never seen an

unhappy face on a merry-go-round.

Yet, so much of life is repeated

sounds, words, motions, illusions,

in and out of cars, the opening and

closing of doors and jars and boxes.

Looking back I’ve seen unhappy

faces in churches and on their jobs.

Maybe seeing life as a merry-go-round

might be a metaphor for having to do

life  - listening to the music, enjoying

life and seeing the circle of life together.
