Life of Balance

Come to my side and hold my hand As we stroll through this maze called life. I the teacher and you the student can travel side by side. I see the whole forest And you one tree at a time. Come to my side and hold my hand As we stroll through this maze called life. I the forester and you the swimmer, Can travel in harmony. I see the landscape And you the bodies of water. Come to my side and hold my hand As we stroll through this maze called life, I the poet and you the mathematician. I see the words and rhymes And you numbers and logic. Come to my side and hold my hand As we stroll through this maze called life. I the mother figure and you the child. I can learn from you how to have fun, And you can gain wisdom and understanding from me. Because all work and no play reek! In this journey of life our differences from day to day Could infuse into a glorious harmony. My weakness and your strength blend, And each part is needed to make the whole.

Two different people can work together and help each other. Harmony is a good thing in life. We need more of it. Nicely done.

I like the harmony of opposites. Each has something to offer the other. Well expressed.

Thanks! That was exactly my point for the poem.

This poem could be the right side of our brain talking to the left; we need both to be in balance. Thanks for sharing!

Right and left side of the brain an amazing comparison that I didn't think about when I wrote this, but you are right.
