Jump on this roller coasterRide along with me
Grab a seat in the car of life
Get ready to fly free
Take off slowly, climb that hill
Reach the very top
At the crest now barely moving
Not wanting life to stop
The car of life plunges down
Pulling at your soul
Scary but quite exciting
Fast out of your control
You speed around that hairpin curve
Gasping for your breath,
Hold on tight we are not done yet
That curve was just a test.
You'll climb back up once again
Weary days ahead
Reach the top of a high plateau
Before you plunge ahead
Up and down life always goes
As your day begins
Just when life is most exciting
You tumble down again
(Sherry Gibson)
