We are born To ride the carousel. We can be content To go round And round, Riding the horse Up and down, Always moving But never really going Anywhere, And enjoying the ride Without gaining Anything more substantial Than the wind In our hair, Or… We can take a risk And reach for The gold ring That glistens invitingly As we fly by. We may miss it, We may fall off, It may take Hundreds of attempts Before we hold it In our hand, But the overwhelming joy it brings Would make each preceding failure Inconsequential.

I agree with you a bunch. Never forget how I was too small to reach that brass ring but it was thrill the first time I grabbed it.
