LIFE'S UPS AND DOWNS

 

We tend to realize the older we grow

how in life there is a definite ebb and flow…

 

How sometimes the sun will shine 

making the landscape clear and bright

and other times our eyes have a hard time 

adjusting to the darkness of the night

 

When it’s bright outside…we laugh and play and run 

we try to enjoy and store in our memory 

every moment in the sun.

 

So when darkness falls and we can’t tell night from day

we’ll have those memories in the sun to help illuminate our way.

 

When sadness darkens our world

memories of the sunlight help us overcome our fears

reminding us there is joy out there 

Floating…in the wake of all our tears

 

Reminding us somewhere in our sorrow

if we look for joy…we’ll find it

and that every dark cloud…

will one day surrender…

to the sun …waiting patiently behind it.
