Life
is like a pendulum, tilting to and fro,
Marking
out the limits of your daily ebb and flow.
When
you’re young, life’s path is easy; you can fly, swift like an
arrow,
But
as the years progress the track gets rocky, steep and narrow.
Life
is like a pendulum, it never stops to rest.
You
forge ahead at work; perhaps a partner warms your nest.
And
if some children come along you’re really on the run.
Mixing
family, work and social life is not so easily done.
Life
is like a pendulum, relentless as a clock,
It
keeps you moving forward, always thinking, taking stock.
It’s
good to be on top of things, heading for a win.
But
if you slip, then crash and burn, just take it on the chin.
Life
is like a pendulum, swaying left and right,
Tempering
misfortune with excitement and delight.
On
the one side: disappointment, despondency and grief,
But
on the other: satisfaction, enjoyment and relief.
Life
is like a pendulum, wavering in scope,
If
tragedy should strike you down, stay calm... don’t give up hope.
The
mechanism’s finely tuned; a balance will be struck.
When
life gets tough, keep moving on; hard work will bring good luck.
Life
is like a pendulum, unceasing, never slack.
A
time machine might change your history. If you travelled back
You
could choose your words more carefully, make wrong choices right,
Apologise;
forgive someone; rise to greater height.
But
life is like a pendulum, its beat you can’t resist,
And
time machines are fantasy; they simply don’t exist.
Your
actions in the future will be all that you can change,
So
you must concentrate your focus on those things within your range.
Life
is like a pendulum, back and forth it goes.
It
comes to rest one day of course, but when? One never knows.
Then
life, just like a pendulum, will swing in time with you.
