I'm walking a tight rope
A thin, gossamer line
On one side, sanity and hope
On the other...never mind.

A warm breeze dances around
As I slowly walk high above
The colorful spring ground
And all those finding new love.

Spring turns quickly to summer
A new season to balance through
Clouds forming, winds grow stronger
Keep trying to survive as so many do.

Quickly fall comes, a time of goodbyes
Of letting go and moving on
And trying to stay on the right side
Weariness sets in, clouds cover the sun.

Winter brings a chill to my soul
I know the fight is at its end
The thin rope breaks, winter winds blow
Can you guess on which side I fall friend?< !signature-->

 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

Irish Blessing

Nicole, all I can say is I hope it's into my arms with sanity and hope. Love you.

 May the light of day always shine during the darkest of nights.

We all walk your tightrope. The people who fall on the side of never mind are generally unaware they are walking, let alone a tightrope

 May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out.

Just as the rope breaks to your amazement you see another one and leap to it and continue to balance...... just a guess.

But thats what we all do aint it.

You fall on a bed of roses on the side of hope and sanity. You see another tight rope ahead and start walking it.

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Well, versed Winged Angel a path in life we're all sure to take
It's not how we fall it's how we get back up that matters, I think..
