Life is like a roller-coaster
as one young Irishman once sang
It’s full of ups and downs
exciting highs
and depressing lows
There be plenty peaks and troughs
with spectrum of mixed
emotions in between
It’s our attitude to life
that determines
life’s attitude towards us
Life begets whatever
we say or think of
it mirrors our attitude
and reflects it back
our thoughts
our words
our actions
so be careful what you think
say or do
cos otherwise
life might just
boomerang it back
straight at you
So always do your best
and try to remember
to remain positive and upbeat
when under dire stress
and feeling the heat
Learn to ride
the bad and the good
appreciate the best
while you can
and learn to accept
the very worst
Don’t always need
to understand why
something happens to you
but have serenity
to know - that sometimes
there's nothing you can do
So be brave
and do only
what you can do
and have the knowledge
to know the difference
between what you
can and cannot do
Learn to enjoy
the ride of life
with its many exhilarating highs
and sometimes depressing lows
Life’s just like that
I’m afraid - for if not
then how possibly
would it be - to differentiate
times - good and ‘bad’
So opposites in life exist
they have their raison d’etre
(their reason for being)
making us - appreciate
the true value of life
so next time you’re really happy
you’ll know why
cos you’ll understand that
very happy and very sad
must go together
like success and failure
so be very glad
cos now you know
why life’s full
of transient highs
and enduring lows
