When you start to look at your life as a thing
That your soul has crafted to bring
With it's hardships, trials, joy and sorrow
And unknown events of the morrow
A certain journey and series of emotions
Set of experiences as vast as oceans
All designed to expand your depth of understanding
Increasing your capacity for commanding
Your soul has done this because it craves
Experience and so it asks you to brave
This up and down and often confusing
Topsy turvy and sometimes unamusing
Giant ball of emotion and feeling
Losing your way and reeling
Sometimes filling your mind with worry and dread
Where you'll live and find a bed
In this world of triumph and tribulation
Your soul has come to find exaltation
And so whether up or down
When your smiling or wearing a frown
Your soul has come with great conviction
A good amount of predilection
To learn from this space
To teach itself to operate in grace
