ROLLER COASTER RIDE
By: Judy A. Andres
05/24/06
Life is a roller coaster ride
Since that October day.
All forward steps are oft’ replaced
With steps the other way.
It seems the progress that I make
Never is here to stay.
Just when I seem to get a grip…
I have a bad, sad day.
My life is filled with ups and downs,
Like a carnival ride.
And there are times I’d like to just
Run somewhere else and hide.
Sometimes it feels as though I’ve been
Blind-sided by memories.
The cherished ones I won’t forget
Shouldn’t make me so weak-kneed.
They turn my stomach into knots,
And make my head feel light.
Something about that happening
Just doesn’t seem quite right.
I wonder if t’will ever change…
‘Tis how t’will always be,
Because one fact always remains ~
You’re here only in memory.
