Downside/Upside

The downside of a rainstorm is a puddle,
Upside of that... a rainbow.
The downside of losing is the "if onlys",
Upside of that... The chance to challenge yourself.
The downside of falling is tears,
Upside of that...
Getting up stronger.
The downside of death is the emptiness left behind,
The upside of that...
Are beautiful memories to carry for always.
The downside of old age
...is the rain that aches your bones.
...is losing who you once we're.
...is the falling away from society.
...is the fear of death and the emptiness left behind.
Upside of that...?
Upside of that...?
...to lose all inhibitions.
...to see the world as it is and as it was.
...to share your learned life.
...to sit and just enjoy time.
...to smile and know that others can see your life in the light and wrinkles of your eyes.
