The jig of emotions goes on.
Always our feelings are changing.
We’re happy. When sad, joy is gone.
Life events keep rearranging.
When happy, we kick and we hop.
The jig of emotions goes on.
Life’s tempo is quick; should it slow,
we feel some monotony . . . yawn.
When calm or relaxed, like a swan,
we glide! Some emotions are brief.
The jig of emotions goes on -
barely moving when we feel grief.
Love is what helps us not stumble.
Though to hate or envy we’re drawn,
keep the beat; try not to grumble.
The jig of emotions goes on.
