These Times- a poem

THE highs and lows, and as life goes,

A lot of in between.

For nothing stops or stays the same,

No matter what you’ve seen.

YOU think you’ve witnessed worst of times,

Or maybe seen the best.

But make time for the middle road,

Where you’ll see all the rest.

AS there you will find life itself,

The ordinary day.

Where time is lived while making plans

For other than today.

TAKE pause a bit and realize,

Among your many climbs,

That come tomorrow, you’ll look back

And smile at yet these times.
