Life's Little Ups and Downs
We live our life in smile or frown, the many parts we play
All of life’s little ups and downs in pleasure or pain will lay
We find ourselves in tarnished armor that rust to make us sad
Yet, invest in a joyful face, our hearts bright and glad
Good are those happy days that our smiling face ingrain
Only to walk in tearful mist and our hearts to walk in pain
Still, we plant the seeds of the flower and see its beauty burn
While the petals slowly fade away and the wilted rose returns
Through the words of the eternal God, our soul will start anew
Fall like the faded rose then become fresh and new
