Embracing Life's Ups and Downs
- Navigating Life's Challenges with a Normal Heart
In the ebb and flow of existence's tide
Success and failure forever reside
Happiness and loss, intertwined they be
A tapestry woven, for all to see
If we, with solemn hearts, bear the weight
Of each rise and fall, elation and fate
Life's waters churn, never finding rest
And laughter, like a distant dream, suppressed
Yet, let us embrace a different view
Wherein lies the secret to life anew
To pursue our dreams, ambitions held high
But not let them dictate our every sigh
For in the pursuit, we often stumble
Temporary setbacks, causing us to crumble
But within these moments, we must perceive
The beauty of life, in how we receive
A normal heart, a lubricant so pure
To ease the gears, life's machine to endure
To find joy in the simplest of things
And the solace that everyday life brings
A gentle breeze on a summer's eve
Or the laughter of loved ones, we believe
Are the true treasures, beyond success or loss
That anchor our souls, amidst chaos and dross
For life's currents will toss and turn
But a normal heart, we must discern
Is the compass that guides us steady
Through the stormy seas, ever ready
In the face of adversity's fierce gale
A normal heart will prevail
With resilience and inner calm
Finding strength in life's healing balm
Let us not dwell on what we lack
Or let setbacks hinder us and hold us back
Instead, let us cherish the present's embrace
And find solace in life's tender grace
For happiness lies not in constant gain
But in the acceptance of joy and pain
With a normal heart, we can truly see
That life's beauty lies in its diversity
With each rising sun and twilight's glow
We navigate life's highs and lows
And in the symphony of laughter and strife
We find the essence of a meaningful life
Let us cherish the pursuit and the quest
But not let it steal our peace and rest
With a normal heart, our souls shall thrive
In the tapestry of life, we shall truly arrive
