LIFE

Life is about balance

We have joy and sorrow

There are highs and lows

As we give to others in helping them

We must not neglect to feed ourselves

We must first put our own mask on

Before attempting to help someone else

Sometimes we are the one needing

To put a mask on someone else

Life

At other times we may need

Someone to put the mask on us

You have helped a half dozen

People get their masks on

And now you need help but there’s no one

You need someone to put your mask on for you

But if no one is willing to help, what can you do

You would be extremely frustrated

Watching everyone else calmly seated

Breathing while you gasp for air because no one helped you

Think about how you feel

When you’re constantly giving

For a while, you feel rewarded because

You have the joy of helping someone else

But after a while you get back in tune with your own needs

What about me? You may ask

Imbalances in our lives can create frustration

As you give and give yourself

It’s important to refuel by spending time

With people who can pour into you

When you make a conscious decision

To have balance in your life

You systematically eliminate the potential

For frustrating and misery
