' My Life's Balance'' Poem by Linda Winchell

I have found that in this very place and time
Much more than a chemical balance to it all.
It’s not that which is flowing through each vein and artery
To those aging places that bring comfort and makes one well.

But a more Spiritual source, of life streams
Now flows within my mind and space.
Placing that of an after glow, from my higher source
Bringing me joy, peace, deeper love
And a Spiritual inner grace.

Growing older has real benefits
That in ones youth might never bring.
It teaches a person what is important
That importance, in the smallest
The smallest of everything.

In a child’s smile from an innocence of love
Scented sweetness in a summers breeze.
That resting time otherwise overlooked
While just cuddling with a loved one on a swing.

Embrace the years as they come to you
As if in each one, there lies within a hidden gift.
And you will see that in your puzzle of life
That one piece placed thought not to fit.
