First comes the joy when, with love, life's a thrill,
the coaster rolls up to a happy high,
and then, with love's finale, life's a pill,
when happiness has said its sad goodbye.
But, unlike love, life stays when joy has gone,
and, unlike love, life knows the times will change,
the roller coaster rolling on and on,
with highs and lows the norm instead of strange.
Love can't be forced, but life's in our control,
we will to fix our gaze upon the sky,
God lets us be the captain of our soul,
we can choose to be permanently high.
Love's destined for the roller coaster ride,
but life can coast if we take love in stride.
