We play life’s games
And fight life’s battles every day;
We use each other
To meet our goals in every way.
We share our struggles
With those who freely give their help;
But, when we’re blessed with ease and plenty,
Do we forget the hearts and hands
That helped us once ago to stand?
How strange it is that we oft become estranged
From the very ones God used
To help us so to change
When things were down and life was blue!…
But then, sometimes, life takes a
Sudden turn downhill ….
And as we take the humbler [Tumbler’s] view,
We then can learn ‘Tis sweeter still when we are
Re-united in heart
With those, whose love
Nor time nor fear can move apart.
Oh, we know that “United we stand and
Divided we fall”;
But re-united in God’s love
We’ll never truly part;
Riding in places high or low,
Whatever we do, wherever we go….
