Grabbing the Brass Ring

I have always loved carousels.

Always. The larger the better.

I loved the music, the quaintness and charm.

And the horses! Of all colors and decor!

Remember the brass ring?

If you could grab it, you got a free ride.

I never managed to grab that brass ring,

but John and I have grabbed a dream

and we are holding on. Tight.

Retirement is fast approaching,

so we stepped out in faith, prayed,

and a dream is coming true.

Slowly, but it's happening.

Don't ever settle.

Don't ever think you can't.

You can.

Reach for that gold ring.

Make those dreams come true ~

It does not matter how old,

or young,

you are.
