Roller Coaster ride(s)

Up and down and all around
Down and up, back again
Never a smooth or easy ride
Life’s sudden emotions
Are a roller coaster ride

Getting motion sick
From the ups and downs
Birth and joy
Death and distress
Pleasure and pain
But no apparent gain
Oh what a damn mess!

Hard to not lose hope
That the good and bad
Really do balance out
At the very end

Just better to enjoy the joy
In the enjoyment you have
While it lingers and lasts
Savoring every last moment
Knowing very well
It won’t last forever
But will return instead

The joyful secret is always
When?
Probably soon or maybe not
