A Poem by TJ

It’s All a Juggling Act

                                       

IT’S ALL A JUGGLING ACT

Yes it is

LIFE IS JUST THAT

 

We go through life,

juggling things around

Juggling that job

Juggling those bills

Dealing with those children

Dealing with that spouse

 

IT’S ALL A JUGGLING ACT

 

Just trying to hold it all together

We try not to drop, any of these balls

We never know how many balls,

        we will have to juggle in one act

 

Some of these balls we juggle all the time

Some of them come and go,

juggling them for only a short while

 

Like the death of a loved one

Those visits to the doctor’s office

That special project, WHICH YOU ARE WORKING ON

 

IT’S ALL A JUGGLING ACT

 

Those trips to visit those relatives

That family reunion

Those holidays that come and go

 

IT’S ALL A JUGGLING ACT

 

We do our best

Trying not to drop any of these balls,

but sometimes we do

 

SOME OF THESE BALLS NEED TO BE DROPPED

Just so you can have some peace of mind,

or feel like you’re progressing in life

 

Sometimes we try to carry too many balls,

not getting anything done

 

We pick up some of these balls

Going back and forth to the floor

We kick some of them to the side

To ignore

 

JUST DO YOUR BEST

IT’S ALL A JUGGLING ACT
