BALANCE

The lights have all been taken down,

The snow is disappearing,

The sidewalk is bare but the road is very icy,

At least where we are,

The young boys are now playing basket ball not road hockey.

Spenser had a good walk with a lovely young lady,

She looked about Morgan's age,

We had a nice visit after,

I was very unhappy not to have a walk,

It was just as well I did not have to go as I lost my balance

and fell against the hard arm of the chair and hurt my ribs,

It is harder and harder for dad to keep his balance,

I find that life seems to be out of balance,

Is it just me?
