sometimes life is like being a tightrope

a constant battle to balance everything

one slip and you face eternal doom

however many careful steps you make

you can never seem to get beyond the middle of the rope

the end is in sight but you just cannot get there

you might see carefree people dancing on their rope

others walk their rope with eyes closed oblivious of the dangers below

when something makes you lean over to one side

it takes enormous strength to keep yourself upright

if you can find your equilibrium its an easy journey

so what is the secret to keeping everything balanced

you would not choose to ride a bicycle carrying a heavy bag in one hand

wearing a back pack will help keep you balanced as you pedal

riding uphill is less effort if you discard all those unnecessary items

so think carefully before taking on any new tasks or burdens

when you do take on a burden keep it well balanced

celebrate the gift of riding your bicycle along the tightrope of your life

enjoy the ride and marvel at the beautiful scenery along the way
