A balancing act, that art of give and take
Measuring what makes it fair
When one scale weighs a little less
The other somewhat more
It’s not a game, it’s not a race, but if it were
Should they tie in equal place?
A perfect match, a perfect weight
But in a perfect world
It doesn’t really happen that way

Rose, I feel that there is always one who gives so much more and the other who takes takes takes… In true love it shouldn’t matter, but one day you wake up and realise how one-sided it really was
Brian, I understand you’re not into sharing in some areas of your life, but where it really counts at home, I know you and Diane give so much to each other…

It only works that way if we put effort into making the balance work.
Great verse, Ann. You speak so very clearly of desire and needs of two matching up. So often it doesn’t work, but when the right match comes along, the scales do get close, and that, at least, is a blessing that can be counted.

That depends. If we simple share from the heart, then scales will fall from our eyes.
