************************************


Balance was the Key

She had lived on the edge
Tripped and almost fell to her death
A few times

She grew up dodging
The angry words
The angry hands

Balance was the key

Finding love had been both
Difficult
And
Rewarding

Balance came in many forms for her

Reading
Writing
Children
Family
Love of a good man

Balance was the key

She lived on the edge
In life
In love

Finding
Balance had been the key
