Juggling

always moving

always shifting

always up in the air

always busy

always adjusting

trying to show i care

don't let them fall

don't let them fail

don't let them feel the pain

don't let them stumble

don't let them struggle

don't let me wane

i grow weary

i begin to fail

i cannot be their shield

they will fall

they will fail

no matter what i do

no more juggling

no more weary arms

i will instead

help pick them up

dust them off

and love them with all my heart.

We so often try to protect those we love.  The truth is we can't spare them the pain.  But we can walk beside them.  We can help them up.  We can love them.
