The Ups and Downs


From when I was woken, to when I fall; destruction, pain, sadness, and death will blur my vision. But where there is destruction, will soon be creation; where there is pain, will soon be comfort; where there is sadness, will soon be joy; and where there is death, will soon be life. Ups and downs are a part of life, uncontrollable by any force. The downs only bring greater ups. Pushing through rough waters, will bring you to a beautiful bay. Giving up should never be an option. Life only gives you one shot: take that shot as far as you can.
