MOVING AHEAD

It’s been a fairly good year
(so far)
and I really can’t complain,
but isn’t that always the way
life is with all its ups
and downs?

The good and the bad,
the ups and the downs,
a roller-coaster ride,
a merry-go-round,
hanging on tight
and taking each day
one at a time,
handling things
as they come
the best that I can,
even when things don’t go
quite the way I planned.

I try to navigate each wave,
the ups and the downs,
the ins and the outs,
riding each one
as if it were the last
until the next one comes along
and I’m standing once more
on the brink of what’s in store
as this roller coaster
has absolutely no intention
of slowing down,
time moving so fast.

But at least,
for today
and for now,
the roller-coaster ride
I find myself on,
seems to be traveling
more up than down,
full speed ahead
and in the right direction.
