Slippery Slide

Just thoughts on life..

Life is like a child’s slide

No safety and nowhere to hide

A basic novelty when life begins

A simple ride that brings many grins

But as life goes on, we all soon see

As years continue, speed becomes the key

In the later months, we trudge up the ladder

Once we’re up the top we feel much bolder

Then Christmas passes and we’re on the way down

We’re soon at the bottom drawing a frown

Where has the year gone, July now here

We’re drawn back to the ladder for some Christmas cheer

And so life goes on with the long climbs to the top

Only to aim for that next quick drop

Each year our slides get faster and faster

Until the ride gets weaker and weaker.

Then one day we’re at the end

Taking a ride to our final descend

Do we choose to start this ride again

From days of novelty until the end

Perhaps by then, we’ll finally know

Perhaps by then, our spirits will grow.
