Our Profound Son

Trevon wrote this for a school assignment.

The instructions were that they were to write

something that started with

"Life is Like a"

His is below and the pictures are from our

Disneyland trip 2 years ago.

Life is like a Rollercoaster,
First it starts out nice and slow,
giving you a chance to get used to the ride.
Gradually it speeds up and throws you a curve.
It’s filled with twists and turns which at the moment

can seem to be too much to take.
As you hold on and take it in stride
It always seems to get better.
Sometimes you’re way up high

and at times you are way down low
But whether or not you’re up or down

you should always make the best of it.
You may not like it at first,

waking up every morning to that fast pace of speed.
After a while as you begin to relax, you’ll enjoy it

and realize that it’s not so bad.
As you get to the end the cart begins to slow

and you begin to wish for the speed again.
The inevitable always happens

even against your greatest desire.
Your hopes are to keep going but the cart stops,

never to be used again.
