Embracing Life's Ups and Downs

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
