DOWN

Down they want you, to fall down and never get up. 
Never get up is the plan, to make you so sad that you cannot stand. 
We will never go down, we will rise with the sun, and have fun as we laugh.  
We felt it, like a storm, the downing words that made us feel sad, like a storm that would not quit, it got us wet and cold for a bit. 
We will never go down, we will rise with the sun, and have fun as we laugh. 
Down was the path, but we choose the up path, and walked and walked till we reached the peak, letting us see the beautiful sunrise. 
We will never go down, we will rise with the sun, and have fun as we laugh. 
Life can take us to many paths, up and down and sometimes we just keep going around, till we learn how to navigate our way around. 
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
