Each Day

Life has many ups and downs
many things can turn around
it is placing our faith and hope
on his loving grace.

Life can take you into darkness
where you feel no spark
it can lift your spirit high
as you soar into the sky.

Life is unpredictable
it will swing erratically
one moment up then down
eventually you touch even ground.

What lies ahead 
is an unknown factor
live each day the best 
life takes care of the rest.

Thanks my friend we are all fine over here. I hope all is well your way too. Never thought life would take so many twists and changes so have to learn to take a day at a time. Maybe getting older makes you realize the things you wish you would have done. Stay well. love phyl
