A Tipping Balance

“Doing the little things can make a big difference.”-Yogi Berra
**************************************************************

                                           A Tipping Balance

                       Dipped down the depth of a ditch by vile men
                        And shattered by the heartless hands of fate
                           I swayed with hope at the tip of one end,
                         At other, dark despair drowning me straight.

                             It was a tough tug of war with despair
                              Oft driving me to doors of depression
                          And hope at times lifting me up from scare
                               Of sinking in stormy seas of tension.

                              In time the flame of faith in the divine
                           Doled out a tipping balance towards hope
                        That did in my life steer some streaks of shine
                           And altered the contours of my life`s scope.

                          Now with hope and the flame of faith aligned
                              The tipping balance rests with the divine
