Highs and Lows

This world is made of highs and lows

One finds this wherever one goes.

The highlands are high the lowlands low;

Uphill and down wherever we go.

The highs are what we all aspire;

The upward jump, the flame of fire.

But downward falls are never sought after.

They take away fun and all the laughter.

But without the low there would be no high

The value of smiles comes after you cry.

To reach the skies you would need to rise.

First be there below, then raise your eyes.

Without the day there would be no night.

Without debility who would know might?

The one who conquers, who wins, who gains,

Must know what pains are, and what are chains.
