Toss and catch

Its easy

It's simple

Life is exciting and fun

Just a toss and a catch

Life is a breeze

You can juggle it with you eyes closed

All Is going well until...

WHOOSH

Another ball is thrown at you

This one heavier than the first

But you catch it without stumbling

This one isn't much different

It just makes life a little bit harder

But you can manage

You'll still keep life in rhythm

Just like before

Toss, toss, catch, catch

But next thing you know

WHOOSH

Again a new ball is thrown

But this time it hits you

Like a punch in the stomach

Your breath leaves your lungs

And you drop the balls

You quickly recover and scramble

To catch your life before it hits the ground

You grab them and start again

But this new rhythm is different

Harder, more difficult to control

But you find it

They way to juggle your life

Toss, toss, catch, toss, catch, catch

CRACK

Again a ball is thrown

This one hurts

You feel part of yourself break

The balls fall to the ground

The pain is overwhelming

Not knowing what to do

Letting your life roll around

But after awhile you'll find it

Inspiration

You pick up the balls

And start again

Now it's easy

Being in control of your life

The balls begin to fly

The smile comes back

Sometimes you'll get really brave

And do a trick

Maybe close your eyes

And catch your life

While not knowing where it is

It's fun again

You feel like you can do anything

But then those balls are gone

Taken away

Just the first ball is left

But your happy

Life is easy again

No more worrying

No more stress

No more pain

Just a toss and a catch

Later you'll look off

And in the distance you'll see

Another ball

Slowly but surely coming

You know you can't stop it

When it gets to you

So you juggle the first ball

Enjoying life

Because you know the next one

Is still far off

Life continues to be

Fun

Easy

Like a dream

But when the next ball comes

When it hits you

You'll be gone
