Day 351 - Roller-coaster

 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
