Ferris Wheel

Standing next to the Ferris Wheel I used to ride in my childhood, much taller than I used to be, I felt nostalgic.

Ferris Wheel Poem by Unknown

Round and round the circles goes
A simple design that once made history
When it will stop, nobody knows
Fulfilling its purpose of bestowing mystery

Slowly creeping its way up, then slowly back down
Occasionally instilling fear
Yet not a soul departs with a frown
But disembarks happily with a loved one near

The final destination is always the same
Although the time to dismount is unknown
The feeling resembles that of winning a game
The prize a memory of a lifetime for you to own

Round and round the circle goes
When it will stop, nobody knows
