Roller Coaster

** Image ID #1580567 Unavailable **

High and low,
victory and defeat,
happiness and sorrow always come
together tumbling as we ride up on life's wheel.
Life is a rollercoaster on which
we go up and go down.
Depression
and cheerfulness go hand
in hand like the somersaults of life.
When in despair, we should never break down but keep
in mind that laughter will follow us
again and we'll once more
be happy.
