Beautiful summer afternoon at the fair
Looked forward all week the coaster to ride
Stood in line and awaited the moment
It was our turn and we boarded side by side
Anticipation on the long climb to the top
So exhilarating was the downward trip
Everything was absolutely amazing
The colors flew by at a kaleidoscopic clip
Sensing a merging of spirits and souls
As we raced and soared around that track
Rapturous energy surrounding us
Could fly forever and never look back
Around the coaster rode a second time
Our good fortune overflowing that day
Up and down traveling faster and faster
Fireworks blossomed in sparkly rays
Then the ride slowed to a crawl and stopped
And the riders disembarked one by one
Resisting as I waited all week for that ride
Willed it not to end for it was so much fun
Finally crawled off of the roller coaster
Reality came clouds caused the sun to hide
Everything became gloomy, wet, and grey
But wasn’t the purpose to enjoy the ride?
