The Roller Coaster of Life

All of a sudden it appeared

the ride I was on had caused much fear

on the tracks and picking up speed

heading straight down, my body took heed

the way seemed narrow

and it felt like I followed a sparrow

banking hard left and right

up and down this crazy flight

many emotions I felt at the beginning

wondering how did I get here, was I dreaming?

but it felt like I was here so I held on tight

it's all you can do when those rails take flight

Slowly I learned to start enjoying the race

and the fear turned to laughter as I picked up the pace

and I saw I was one of many on the ride with me

and we all had a purpose and began to sing with glee

the ride came to end and it was time to depart

oh I wanted to go again but I knew it was another's start

and a door opened from somewhere and off I went

remembering my home, where I was meant

and once through the door, I looked back upon all

as a ride upon, a tiny blue ball

and further I moved and it faded from site

for now, I entered, into the light
