Highs-N-Lows

A mission is a strange experience

It is a trial and a test.

A mission throws at you the worst

Yet, teaches you the best.

I've never been so happy,

I've never been so depressed.

I've never felt so forsaken,

I've never felt so blessed.

I've never been so confused,

Things have never been so clear.

I've never felt my Heavenly Father so distant,

He's never been so near.

I've never been so discouraged,

I've never been so full of hope.

I feel I could go on for forever,

I think I've come to the end of my rope.

I've never had it quite so easy,

I've never had it quite so tough.

Things have never been so smooth,

Things have never been so rough.

I've never traveled through more valleys,

I've never ascended more peaks.

I've never met so many nice people.

I've never met so many freaks!

I've never had so many ups,

I've never had so many downs.

I've never worn so many smiles,

I've never had so many frowns.

I've never been so lonely,

I've never had so many friends.

BOY, I hope this is over soon,

GOSH, I hope this never ends.
