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.
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!)
