“farris-Wheel Ride”

Rating: 5.0


Purchased two tickets to ride
On the “Farris-wheel”… with you by my side.
But you never did show
So…. on the ride alone around I did go.

Taken to the top of the ride
When I viewed you five cars below.
You had your arm around another
Where you seemed to be… enjoying her so.

Stuck at the top in a daze
Of what my eyes… had gazed.
So looked to the heavens’ above
Wondering…why it was you I had loved?

Wasted my life…so I thought
But it was just a ticketed price of my loss.
For a favor you had then given to me
When in the heavens above I did see.

A vision of another’s true love
That of my Father…my God above
For none on earth can compare
To the love He gives… unselfishly to share.

An awful experience initially but with a very positive result. An interesting and very clever idea. I liked it and your rhythms are good.
