That's The Way Life Is Poem by Dorsey Baker

Everybody loves the sunshine
But sometimes
The rain it's got to fall
And sometimes
The wind it's got to blow
And that's the way life is
Sometimes
You've just got to go
With the flow

Sometimes
You've got to
Pump the gas
Sometimes
You've got to
Put on the brakes
And that's the way life is
Sometimes
You've just got to
Go with the flow

Which way the tide is going to turn
You don't know
You've just got to
Go with the flow
You can't move too fast
You can't move too slow
Sometimes
You've just got to
Go with the flow
