The Merry-Go-Round
Spinning slower and slower
Life is a merry-go-round
The ride is filled with
Family and close friends
Laughing, playing, and living
But as the years go spinning by
More people leave the ride
Than get on
Fewer new friends join
As old ones vanish
One by one
Family fading away
The ride slowing
Music faltering
Until you
Fall off
Too
