“Balance”
Shouldered worry,
load consistent,
Peace in thin places,
emotions resistant.
Balancing act,
feels always too late,
3 more things to do…
…,no 4,…no…8!
Have a catch, tie your shoes,
Stop to look at weird bugs,
Brush your hair, read stories,
Share super bear hugs.
Fix your bike, six piggy-backs,
“Daddy - one more time!”
Hold your hand, wipe your tears,
I’ll be the first in line.
