Balance Poem by Stephen Hayles

When our lives get wobbly and we’re all out of sorts,
The world seems strange and we forget our supports.
We loose sight of the objective and our focus is lost,
Emotions run erratically, into uncertainty we’re tossed.

It’s time to step back and to view from above,
All that has happened is we have forgotten self love.
Once centered again and the beliefs made strong,
A new perspective appears on what went wrong.

Life is intended to have ups and its downs,
One moment is tragedy then we’re dancing with clowns.
The dark clouds roll in and block out our sun,
Only to be blown away to show blue skies have won.

When all the fear in your heart subsides,
You’ll find where your muse and angel resides.
Hope and truth and hate and fear,
Are the opposite ends of the same spectrum it’s clear.

So how do we function and get through the day,
It’s a challenge to do but easy to say.
All things in moderation, in the bible we read,
That’s the beginning of the answer, it planted the seed.

To get the most out of our three score and ten,
Want to know the secret… I’ll tell it to you then.
Sometimes we get burnt and sometimes cold,
Some people die young and others old.

The truth is to be active we must never rest,
Each day try something new and everything test.
Enjoy the life that you have been given to live,
It’s all about balance to receive and to give.
