ROLLER-COASTER
Prompt - Roller-Coaster : Write about the ups and downs of life
Holding pace, plenty space
Cruising smoothly along
The tarmac unwinds as you wish
The journey's like a song
But motorways have crashes too
Pile ups, jams and crazies
Fog and rain and ice and snow
Can have you pushing daisies
And life's not like a motorway
It's filled with turn and twist
At times you follow signs for roads
That don't even exist
Sometimes you climb up to the top
Then the road will fall and bend
And when you reach the valley's depth
It's not easy to ascend
But there is always some way up
And you learn to be a goat
You take whatever route you can
When life's got you by the throat
Accept that that this is no smooth ride
Enjoy the bits you can
And there's another view atop that hill
That wasn't on the plan
Even dirt tracks have their place
For you don't know what you'll find
Take the road that falls to you
And to yourself be kind
