.
All the noise, the feeling,
The emotion and love
On display unconsciously
We are just being ourselves
And something good has happened
Conversely, body chemistry changes
When unfavorable conditions present
We are complex beings and
Happy celebrations can turn
To tragedy in the blink of an eye
It is wise to be temperate
Work for excellence at all times
Decline to be distracted by short cuts
Accept the chance of obstacles
We want to fly but have no wings
Crave the wind on calm days
Wish certain seasons would last forever
But also know the meaning of reality
Life is not to be boring
There will be ups and downs
How we handle them has meaning
We love the noise, the parades,
But keep them in perspective
Then disappointments are tolerable
