What is it with life
it has ups and downs
Pleasure and pain
Joy and heartbreak
do the rounds
Would that our lives
could, just be pleasure
No pain or woe
for us to measure.
Why is it, things
go so wrong?
Bad things happen
not like in songs
How do I deal
with the days
that are black
When the roof
caves in
The cheque
bounces back
I have to dig
in deep
To my reserves
my internal resevoir.
What is it with life
it has ups and downs
Pleasure and pain
joy and heartbreak
do the rounds.
