Poem: The Ride of Life
Many people liken life to a great big ride and say “just hang on for the ride” as you go.
She never imagined life would take her on this ride. You never know what life will bring you but I say enjoy all it has to offer no matter what comes your way.
There are many different kinds of rides at the amusement parks and state fairs. Each have something unique about them. Some are mellow and safe while some are more adventurous and thrilling. Some go straight up and down; others may keep you in the dark.
Her ride started wild and crazy like a rollercoaster with no end when she got a diagnosis of bipolar and the moods began to swing high and low as she rapidly began to cycle from
moment to moment. Some days and moments were thrilling and exhilarating just as if you were
on a rollercoaster climbing up and turning around. The entire family and all your friends and coworkers
are along on this ride. Then come the days and moments you begin the descent for some there is fear of the unknown.
For this crazy rollercoaster ride there seems to be no end. How many twists, turns, climbs and descents…can anyone get off this crazy ride? Surely some will…but this is a ride I can never leave. But I will hang on and enjoy every moment of the ride of life!
