“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
