Know For Sure

Know not

If it is less or more

Just good or better

But it feels great to have

Sprawling meadows of happiness

By God's grace

That permeates

From surface to core

Unable to fathom

If it is in

God's scheme of things

To sprinkle a little sorrow

On joy and ecstasy at times

To illustrate

The act of balancing

And make us realize

The meaning of whole

Or too much of a thing

Breeds contempt

And a different pattern

Is most welcome

Know not

If it is

One’s analysis of life

That finds trace of God

In both good times and bad times

Or one’s perception

That mends all bends

Helps remain composed and stoic

In the face of hardship

Yet ... know for sure

Too much of pleasure

Breeds indulgence

A speck of sorrow

If not more

Keeps us grounded

Helps surge and fly higher.
