THE NATURE OF LIFE

THE NATURE OF LIFE

When life is unpredictable --
with dry spells and passionate seasons of diversity
running hot and steamy, then bone-chilling cold --
find comfort in the calm steady rain; then
firmly press through the violence of each relentless thunderstorm.

All the while, hold on for the ride of your life --
enjoying both the tranquility of the ferris wheel and
the thrills of a roller-coaster ride gone wild.
For life is ever changing, easily expressed by a defiant toddler
or the fragile innocense of a sleeping newborn.
