Teeter Totter Poem

Teeter totter poem Standing on a razor sharp edge, Just like balance that has a wedge, Swaying on either of two sides, Positive and negative, life is a teeter totter ride! It's sometimes love, other times sorrow, Some humble words, some harsh ego, Immense pleasure , at times great horror, Peace in world, more of hostility and terror ! Whenever tried to live a balanced life, Always encountered some new strife, And on a tottering platform as I lied, Testing times for me, no one to guide! Good enchants and bad depresses, Confidence blesses and loss suppresses, Every aspect essential for a complete life, Melody of music comes of the teeter totter pipe!

A wise poem. Those who really understand life know that this is how things are. There has to be good with the bad! If it were all a cake walk, we would not learn anything.
