Up and down
Down and up
Forward and backward
Backward and forward.
One day at a time
I dare say.

Up and down
Down and up
Forward and backward
Backward and forward.
Today is an up day.
As a matter of fact
Today is a great day…
—a great day to embrace—
Embracing the ups
Frees me from the downs.

How true your poetic words ring dear Laura - - our up days make us more determined to cope with the downs - - I love that final couplet - we certainly need to embrace the ups.
In 64 years I've learned that you can't have one without the other. The balance of life. But those ups are oh so wonderful. Great write Laura. ; )
Good write, Laura.
Good one there Laura. Reads as self talk which is definitely the way to go . As I well know, no one else can do this for me.
Works because I have reasonably secure living conditions - if not affluent, at least comfortable.
Every day is a great day as is every moment in them Laura.

may all your days be great ones
You have penned n posted something here, far greater and more important than the sum total of words from which it is composed ... A lesson for us all n lovely ....

As it feels to have your spirit back bouncing around!
Thank you for sharing x
And I'm here to fulfill my promise dear Laura, this is art! I love this beautiful analogy of a see-saw as life. That line "Embracing the ups / Frees me from the downs" is actually so sincere and heart-touching. When we welcome the positivitey of life, the darkness seems to steer clear from our sights. This is such an impassioned poem of optimism and I love the way you weaved it! (I knew you had a talent!)
