No Matter What

Downward leads to a stream, Happy pitchers on dry heads, Poking thirsty cheeks to smile, Every down leads well. A seed's funeral, Killed by a so(u)n, Brings leaves- fresh harvest, Every down leads well. Now he runs, To walk, he once fell, Again and again, Every down leads well. A thrown lemon; To your thirsty face, From it make a lemonade, Kill that thirst. Again and again, Every down leads well, No matter what, Never cease to try.
