Equilibrium
Slumped in the dumps
going over the bumps
don't let it get your goat
or get to you
but stay afloat
and take your lumps
remember to maintain
easy to say hard to do
your balance composure
perspective and point of view
as tomorrow no one knows
so go along for the ride
whatever fate throws
take it in stride
with its ups and downs
and smile all the while
there's no gain in frowns
as life's nought but a game
and from the day we begin
men and women are merely players
not a one of whom will ever win
