Before my Eyes- a poem

AS I moved slowly through my day,

I tried to balance all.

The good, the bad, the heavy loads,

While trying not to fall.

TILL one day, when I came upon

A stranger by my side.

He glanced at me and quietly said,

“ How do you keep your stride?”

EXPLAINING all my effort made

To carry on each day,

He turned to me and gently said,

“ There is a better way.”

“ THOUGH you are meant to handle life,

And all it brings to you,

Remember, you are not alone.”

Then vanished, like the dew.

AT first, I thought I dreamt His words.

But then I realized,

The beauty as I turned around,

Before my very eyes.
