UPS & DOWNS
By Henry Cartwright

“UPS & DOWNS”…smiles and frowns
Are ways to everyday life,
No one said it would be easy, but we must continue to strive
So I wake up each day that is not “promised”
To me, with a “smile” upon my face
Cause I know I am only “alive” thru God’s Merciful grace
Therefore…I “pray” daily and know that my lord & savior is in control,
And I ask in him thru my “ups & downs”…
To give me the strength and keep me whole
