As children we soon realize
how temporary happiness can be
that life is a series of waves
we bobbing up and down
in one sense
often or always alone
though sometimes with others
we seek that next high
whether natural or synthetic
a combination of both
hour upon hour
day after day
the months turn to years
and if we can survive
without drowning
before knowing it
senior citizens
with hopes and fears
as those children we once were
the waves to continue unabated
till the end

and beyond?
