Sweet and Salty

Balance a bit more each year,
lessons gained, help adjust life.
Happiness conquers cold fears,
so true joy could replace strife.

Balance a bit more each year,,
tight connections feel kinder.
Enjoy times presently here.
kill envy, fasten blinders.

Good and bad will come and go,
perceptions always decide.
Sweet and salty waters flow,
life first takes, to then provide.

Balance a bit more each year,
sorrows felt, make thoughts so strong.
Hardened hearts soon disappear,
as kind acts linger along.

Balance a bit more each year,
foreseen steps can be measured.
Greater paths open quite clear,
a bright future endeavored.

Droplets fall fast from the sky,
over waves upon the sea,
hold time as years pass on by,
some so sweet, others salty.
