The Highway of Life

Life has its ups and downs,
Both of smiles and frowns;
Through the highway of life,
Of both good times and strife.

Would not life just be a pain,
Sunshine daily without rain;
It just would not feel proper,
If you always able to prosper.

You would get a little bored,
If it all went to your accord;
Being able to have your way,
As you so desired everyday.

But that is what never can be,
In Murphy law as you can see;
It is not that way in the plan,
That God has set forth for man.

If life had a steady even flow,
Before the end we would know;
Just like with reading a mystery,
And peak at the end of the story.
