“Balancing Act” - a poem

Strong enough to be gentle

sure enough to be wrong

detached enough to care

connected enough to be free

bold enough to be humble

complex enough to be simple

brave enough to be afraid

sharp enough to be blunt

courageous enough to love

smart enough to be subtle

wise enough to share

poetic enough to be just

clever enough to listen

joyous enough to sing

clean enough to pray

graceful enough to be poor

tasteful enough to be rich

clear enough to be precise

generous enough to receive

graceful enough to accept

calm enough to be creative
