taking the rough with the smooth
everything in one’s stride
the ups and downs
the highs and lows
taking it on the chin
and strolling down life’s boulevard
with a spring in one’s step
and a tune on one’s lips
joy in the heart
the sun in the sky
the gods in their rightful place
and all is right with the world
as long as one has a twinkle in one’s eye
and a joie de vivre to set aside
all the wrongs and woes that befall
even the stoutest of characters
for when all is said and done
happy is as happy does
