Lessons from a Clown

Welcome to the world of jesters, jugglers and acrobats flying high!
Everyone get ready for the fun and frolic.
I don't need to introduce myself, do I?
Nice meeting you, especially You, workaholic.
                   
You feel the fun as you watch me fall,
Oh, I can't juggle even if I try it all day.
But that's what is life, defying defeats and rising tall--
Oh my gosh, that lion is scaring me away!
 
You've sunk in a riot of laughter, but hey!
Watch out for those tears; don't cry.
Joy and Sorrow cannot be separated away,
you must face 'em both, no matter how hard you try.

Did you see that Ringmaster at the center of the ring?
You laugh, watching me run around him and jostle.
Does that remind you of anything?
Here's your hint; he is my God and I'm his apostle.
