Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Off Balance

There are days it seems I have
Too much upon my plate.
Whether this is good or not
Is up for some debate.

On the plus side, it feels fine
To hustle and keep busy;
But the negative is that
I’m often in a tizzy.

Running ‘round with chores to do
And friends to meet is great.
Sometimes with so many plans
It’s hard to keep them straight.

Other times, though, when I check,
My calendar is bare.
Then I wonder why it is
I’ve so much time to spare.

It’s rare, in life, to balance
Purpose, flow and relaxation,
Unless you’ve left it all behind
And gone on a vacation!

Robert Johnson December 3, 2012 at 3:15 PM The endless struggle to balance and juggle the daily routine games. Leaves much to do for me and you, oh I forget the names. The days and weeks and months and years, just seem to have their way. As we just sit and watch it all and don't know what to say. Kind of makes me think of the cartoon Blondie. They always seem so flaberghasted sometimes. :) Hawaii is nice. :)
