IFE'S ^ PERFECT BALANCE
I f all the days were su n n y A nd the shies were always blue Eoccejotfo r rrmfbe now and then A rainbow-tinted hue... Then life would seem quite 'boring-- A o t too interesting at all Because fo r every Spring that comes There has to be a Tall Tor each success, a fa ilu re A nd fo r every day, a night-- Tor every hour o f sadness S till another o f delight A n d i f were able to accejot W hatever comes our way W e ll fin d a perfect balance In our lives from day to day
