Life for me has been a rusty bike

It’s had flat tires

And broken chain

And no handlebars

But all the time I’ve been climbing onto that seat

And putting my foot on the pedals

And heading straight

And sometimes I fall off that bike

I’m still climbing back on

And life for me has been a rusty bike

We both dry up after being forgotten about.
People rather doing something else than play with the slime.
But theres always that one person who uses and enjoys playing it every day.
But we all have to wait for that person.

It has ups, and downs, and long narrow never ending paths. But, through it all, it has beautiful views. No matter if its a field, a yard with kids playing, trees as far as you can see. It is always beautiful, sometimes, its simple, sometimes its hectic, but always a never ending view of beautiful.

Life for me has been an old car
It had flat tires
And a broken window
And no radio

And headed down the road

Life for me is like a roller coaster
It has ups
and it has downs
It just depends on how you react
If you go along with it
or you don't
that changes how you view the world
half glass full or half glass empty
after all of this I know
my glass is half full
how about you?
Is your life a hand full?]]> 2022-11-10 13:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pamroller/ExtendedMetaphor/wish/2378609271 TJordon https://padlet.com/pamroller/ExtendedMetaphor/wish/2378610827 Life is a broken car
First it had an bad engine
Then an flat tire
Then it had no gas
But when you change your engine
And tires then fill you car with gas
It will run like a normal car
But it will never be a normal car

The drop being a little too high for comfort.
The carts being a little too small for me.

Life is like a movie.
There are good people and bad people
There are good parts and unfortunately
bad parts. it isn't always easy.
There are parts where it's scary.
But you have to keep pushing because in the end it will all be worth it.

Life for me has been a ball of sunshine
Even ift has had clouds blocking its light
And thunder and lightning trying to make the sunshine go away
And people block it with blinds
But all the time I've been showing rainbows
And rainbows will always come with rain
And the sunshine will make the rain fade away
And sometimes those rainbows don't get seen
I'm still shining the sunshine as much as I can

When I look outside it's really really dark.
The sky is not blue the clouds are not white
The sky is all black and the sun has no light.
As the day flies past I look outside to see.
When I look outside what can it be?
It's something in the sky that says hello.
When I looked up a raindrop fell like jello.
I always go outside but I can't go today.
I wish it was the same as yesterday's day.
As the sun comes out the sun starts to shine.
When I look back up the sky looks divine.

Only for the rain beating me down to the ground but all the time I have been reaching back up for the sun.

I've had so many friends that I would never run out of them, and then lost them all in a day. I've had point in life where I've given up all hope, and the point where I wished I'd never die.
