Balancing Act

Life's great see-saw…

Love commands the ups, the downs,

The turn arounds,

The outstretching hands with offerings,

The thrill that every new day brings.

The joy that every young heart sings,

Filled with wild imaginings

Of bold exhilaration as they

Blindly reach to grab the ring.

 

Foolish hearts secomb to pain

When disappointment causes rain to

Fall with vigor and disdain

And living becomes muddled.

Love can be a painful thing

When hearts insist on clinging to

A hopeless situation as

The mind becomes befuddled.

 

Seesaws tilt with ups and downs,

Counter-weights and balances.

Filled with promise,

Filled with thrills,

But also filled with challenges.
