Life is full of ups and downs. If you're anything like me,
More than once you've prayed to God
To take away some of the low spots.
If I had only realized
That the experience
I was trying to shake off
Was actually a life altering opportunity
That was shaping me into the woman
I am today,
I would have screamed,
"Hit me with your best shot!".
Knowing this after the fact
Didn't make it any easier,
But looking back,
I like myself so much better now
For having endured it.
Besides, I'd never have realized
How high I am,
Without the perspective
Of how low I've been.
The real lesson to be learned
Is to face our challenges head on. . .
With grace, style and conviction.
So the next time your life starts To resemble a roller coaster, Climb into the front seat, Throw your arms in the air And enjoy the ride.
