The balance

The stages you go through 

are managed bit by bit 

and I see you smile and take off the pressure. 

Because everything smoothed over 

gets you closer to what's needed

but it depends on how you relate. 

And if you look at all you’ve been given to love 

and you find that still doesn't register, 

then pivot, connect, and adjust the balance. 

Because even though it varies 

and the days take a turn, 

it’s always there for you and it’s steady. 

Because those who care are 2 b sheltered 

and those who express what we need to hear are 2 b cared 4.
