Balance

It is many months since I fell, Going down hard on the sidewalk Unable to rise unaided The bruises on my face become A topic of conversation for strangers. The checker at the grocery store asks "Well, who beat you up?"

Can you believe the audacity of people. We never assume the best. Our society needs a complete re-work to rediscover compassion, family and love. Well done. Mac
