Ups and Downs

Age doesn’t do you in, it’s thought

Our mind plays tricks, we’re overwrought

We cast around this sea of gales,

When our ship has broken sails…

 

Which way to steer?  With fog ahead

Uncertainty gives birth to dread

We’ve lost our way, we drift awhile

Too sad to conjure up a smile…

 

Clouds gather and the thunder rolls

We feel washed up – with no real goals…

But isn’t that a lighthouse there?

I can reach it - if I dare …

 

From shark-infested to free-flow …

It takes time brand-new goals to know

But rest assured hope is in sight

As sunshine pierces darkest night …
