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.
