"The Balancing Act"
O! to balance life as we do our check books...
fudging numbers to meet current demands.
Just so we hold hands
while groping for words to match our looks.
Last month's statement would show
additions and deletions in love
Those on the rise and fall--on the move.
There would be an automatic deduction for each day we are low.
But all is not added or subtracted from last we did.
Or multiplied by past moments of distress…
tender moments of lonesome emptiness
as we continue our daily routine--silent and remise.
But a word of support for the struggling few
Moving in and out of moods
as they feel so misunderstood.
A balancing act monthly--they are--just unable to do.
The word is prayer.
