Embrace the Ride

Life can be compared to an enormous slide,
   though it can be scary we must enjoy the ride.
  It has many ups and downs but we mustn’t hide.
    We must face our fears with dignity and pride,
        even if it means falling on our back side.
    Let hope for a better tomorrow be your guide,
   Couple hope with love and they shall coincide.
Next positivity will flow because hope and love reside.
