Hold Tight, Enjoy the Ride
Life is like a Roller Coaster
With many twists and turns
Once you get on it
There is no chance of to return
And be bystander,
Who is looking from the side
You have a ticket
A ticket to ride.
And what a ride it is
Up and down
Round and round you go
Excited by the heights
And depressed by the lows
Screams of delight by some
As they reach the highest peak
Of this Roller Coaster
Others too terrified to speak
As it dips and dives about
You have to hold on tight
For fear of falling out
Gathering your thoughts
As it comes to a bend
Brace yourself, everyone,
You have to stay on until the end.
