For every day there is a night.
For every wrong there is a right.

For every up there is a down.
For every smile there is a frown.

It's always darkest before  the dawn.
For every pro there is a con.

Into each life some rain must fall,
But enjoy your life in spite of it all.

There are two sides to everything,
And no one knows what the future brings.

It does no good to expect the worst,
When people do that they create their own curse.

Don't waste your time and grumble and grouch,
And sit in a funk on the living room couch.

Life is already way too short,
To waste it on grumbles and growls and snorts.

You can build your own future and make your own luck,
By looking ahead and not passing the buck.

Have faith in God and the gifts He has given,
Don't worry 'bout dyin' just get busy livin'.

mother time has paid her fare

mother time has paid her fare
the memory of youth, behind and gone
reflecting this life, either heaven-or a waking nightmare

the mirror reflects old eyes that stare
recollections of a dawn to a twilight curtain drawn
mother time has paid her fare

from the darkness i stared into the glare
and sowed a seed upon the road to Babylon
reflecting this life, either heaven-or a waking nightmare

pages of future destiny scare and tear
but i grieve not for the past long gone
mother time has paid her fare
 
character arose out of a soul laying bare
truth in the saying-its always the darkest before the dawn
reflecting this life, either heaven-or a waking nightmare

trod upon a path without any fanfare
from sunrise to sunset i kept on
mother time has paid her fare
reflecting this life, either heaven-or a waking nightmare
