I feel I am on a roller coaster
Especially these past few weeks
One day I'm up, the next I'm down
When balance is what I seek.

On one day I deal with the present,
Or the past I'm working through
And then come my plans for the future
Uncertainties old and new.

But also mixed in with the hard times
Are the small moments of joy
Times I am blessed with hope and with peace
And friends whom I enjoy.

Life is comprised of both good and bad
No matter what I go through
Moments of laughter and joy and love
Mixed with the old and the new.
