Enjoy The Ride

Some days are diamonds, some are stone

To quote an old John Denver hit

Truer words were never spoken

The “stone days” (not stoned days!)

Are only sent to us to test our resolve

And to appreciate the “diamond days” even more

To prove, that as dark or as difficult as life can get

There is ALWAYS a silver lining

Otherwise we'd all be candidates for the looney bin

Trust me, have I ever lied to you before?

Okay... well only a couple of times

And I was under the influence???

The influence of WHAT, you may ask

Uh, I take the fifth... okay here are some examples

Now let me see, watching a pretty girl go by

Or the government sending me an unexpected refund

Of a couple of hundred dollars YEEHAW

Maybe sitting down to my favourite meal

With my lovely spouse I've adored

Since the two of you were dreamy-eyed sweethearts

In grade school right up to the present

And now happily married with a couple of wee ones

Don't get me wrong, I do have days of stone

But my diamond days far outnumber them

So the bottom line is

Live, love, laugh and be happy

You only get one chance to travel life's highway

So ENJOY the ride!!!
