Where is the brass ring? Can I make it to the door to catch the brass ring?

The beauty, is it in your eyes? Just in case, there is an optical store so you can get eyewear.

Balloon: Here‟s a lunch group! Where is the life that exists? Yes, life, in a mall, still time to get lunch.

The life exists, highest of highs. The mall before it‟s busy, an oasis. And I hope to have a great time.

When do you see life in a breeze? I will probably feel a breeze coming down that escalator.

Is it in the grass on the ground or in the trees? I can find life in looking. I am going to breeze by this jewelry store and get prices.

Forever it flows making rippling sounds, Flow right up to the beautifying hair and nail salon!

Tells a story of past sights, And another chance again to pause and enjoy refreshment.

Or in the trees? Or in the search? There are still cards made from paper in the store and a whole lot more.

The chance to listen endlessly so, Such a big room, it opens my senses, the big space is uplifting.

Never having to stop on a dare as you go. Don‟t get in the way of the inventory cart, give room.

Rippling tides creating the crest, When I look toward the merry go round, I see a crown of flags from around the world. In there, in between the flags, is the brass ring, and work to be done.

Rippling tides over bumps on the ground, When I look up I see a stunning sky. The mall, the mall, heights all around, wrap me in light.

Rippling tides high water bound. And when we look back, we will be back to the mall again and again so happy with what we found. And the brass ring? We found out they are everywhere, just look and you will find them too wherever you are…
