Good times and bad

Good times come by,
they catch us just like the rye,
they stay for some time,
but one day they will die.

The bad times roll around,
most of the time without a sound,
they come and stay for  years round.

We must stay vigorous,
remain this way and not falter,
in the bad times we can go down.

For we must remember,
in the bad times our character,
stay the same just like the good times.

In the bad times we can turn,
people change in various ways,
most of the time they become hard,
they can create a wicked side,
just to make some people cry
only because their good times have gone away.

Stay strong,
stay stead fast,
the bad times will roll on by,
then rejoice when the good times roll by.

This is really well written and the rhyme scheme helps it to flow better. Reminds me of when I had a very dark time in my life and got caught up in drugs and drinking, even contemplated suicide at one point. Fortunately for me, I had a friend that said I'd be hurting the people that mean the most to me more than I would be hurting myself. I really enjoyed this poem, makes you appreciate the good so much more than the ugly, and the bad.

Your words are true. After you fall down. Can rise up only. I like the story and the wisdom in the excellent poem.
