Balancing Life
"A false balance is abomination to the Lord:
but a just weight is his delight."*
Thus props my steps as faith propels
treading endeavors of priorities' bliss
bouncing-up with gratitude
then slowing down midst prayer-stance
to rest before God for instructions
upon steadfast fortitude
ready to overcome downfalls
by divine triumphant service.
*Proverbs 11:1
