IFES PERFECT
BALANCE
If all the days were sunny Jfnd the skies were always Hue Except for mai/be now and then M rainbow-tinted hue...
Then life would seem quite 'boring-- Not too interesting at all
'Because for every Spring that comes There has to be a Tall
Tor each success, a failure Mndfor every day, a night--
Tor every hour of sadness Still another of delight
Jfnd if we're able to accept 'Whatever comes our way Well find a perfect balance In our lives from day to day
