How Quickly

How quickly things can change And go from good to bad to worse Or, just as likely, do the same But only in reverse. Very little stays in place And thus, the way we feel Reflects the ups and downs of life With which we daily deal. The trick is to enjoy the good And disregard the rest. To anyone who works this out, I would be most impressed.
