The Ride Of Your Life
*It begins as you are just a child
As you wait each year to grow
You watch as others go there first
Then you reach your stepping stone
They say there's rules to this ride
And try to lock you in your place
You begin your uphill journey
With a smile upon your face
You go slowly up a long steep hill
As you enjoy the scenic view
Then you rest a moment at the top
As time stands still for you
You crest the hill and begin to fall
Heart beating in your chest
The bottom comes so very fast
But your rides not over yet
You hit that curve you dont expect
And you hang on for your life
It throws you through a loopty loop
Then it rights you just in time
A few more hills and one last turn
Then a slow unwanted stop
You're happy that you took life's ride
But Lifes ride's not long enough*

The story of life with many ups and downs.
At times it throws you curves and send you spinning.
In the end like any good ride, im guessing, you're going to want to do it all again.
Enjoy lifes ride you only get one.
