‘Life’s what you make of it,’ that’s what they say.

‘Don’t put off ‘til tomorrow what’s better today.’

‘Change that frown to a smile!’ ‘Carpe diem each hour!’

The truth is all rainbows need sun and a shower.

​

Fast is fast and slow is slow;

You need both speeds to make life go.

Reprieves are nice, but so’s gusto:

A minute down, then uptempo!

​

Life’s just a pogostick: up, down, around.

And at some point you know that you’re gonna hit ground.

So hit it, then rise up! Wipe that mud from your face.

Life’s a beautiful journey and you set the pace.

 

Fast is fast and slow is slow;

You need both speeds to make life go.

Reprieves are nice, but so’s gusto:

A minute down, then uptempo!
