Balance of the Heart

Don't let anyone be everything to you,  
For hearts are fragile, and skies are blue.  
To place all trust in a single soul,  
Is to risk losing your own control.  

Let others be a part, not the whole,  
A gentle piece within your soul.  
For in the dance of give and take,  
True strength is found in what you make.  

Seek balance in love, in loss, in grace,  
Keep some light in your sacred space.  
For no one should be your entire sky,  
Hold your wings, and learn to fly.

Each couplet of each stanza contains a classical message and advice. A very beautiful poem.
