Upsy-Daisy

A pep talk lift to rally swift.

Uh-oh. Don’t be in the dumps,

Just because you bear some bumps.

Upsy-Daisy! Off we go.

Life’s a doozy, don’t you know?

Tempest’s teapot is upsot,
Tip-top takes more than we’ve got.
Up united, we can fly.

Two together, touch the sky.

Hold on tight, and trust the wind.

Cringe and cry, but be thick-skinned.

Promise you’ll enjoy the ride,

Once we reach the other side.
