Peter Walsh Poet Lyric

The Balance

Bless you, Lord
For the bounties you’ve handed me down
For the children I love
As their laughter replaces my frown

Thank you, sweet Lord
For the times when I wasn’t so sad
Thank you, sweet Lord
For the good times and the bad 

For life is a balance
And God knows I’m caught in the middle
The tune that I’ve danced to was oft’ times from Lucifers fiddle
The music so sweet, when the worlds at my feet
One dance closer to solving lifes riddle

If not for the wrong road
Then the other would not be the right
If not for the darkness
Then the stars wouldn’t shine out so bright

Thank you, sweet Lord
For the times when I wasn’t so sad
Thank you, sweet Lord 
For the good times and the bad

For life is a balance
And God knows I’m caught in the middle
The tune that I’ve danced to was oft’ times from Lucifers fiddle
The music so sweet, when the worlds at my feet
One dance closer to solving lifes riddle

Peter Walsh January 20, 2014 at 12:33 PM Thank you Charmaine....someone who wears their heart on their sleeve and writes as beautifully as you do is never in the middle. 5JJVThe best of writers are always their own worse critics xXx...be well ...
