Those lines indeed are filled with many tales, I think if we knew at a young age what lay ahead, we would fallen off that tightrope long ago. Looking back, I'm sure you're amazed at what you've overcome! Beautiful poetry Eric!

Thank you Lizelle! As my Mom says, "I've earned each one". : ) I agree with you! There's a reason we can't foretell the future. There's no way I could've imagined all the twists and turns I've experienced in life. You have to keep pushing forward and if you get knocked down you have to find the strength to get up again. The strength you've shown this past year is such a good example of that.
Thank you Eric, there are moments of absolute despair, I'm sure your mom must have gone through the same feelings after the loss of your Dad (and still does at times). But, somehow one draws on an inner strength that you did not know you possessed. I think it's the case with many crises in life!
One of our Hivers, @joanstewart, is going through a torrid time at present, I'm sure you interacted with Joan at times?
Her hubby was bitten on the head by a Green Mamba 3 weeks ago. He was given anti-venom by emergency services and hospitalized but is still in ICU with all kinds of complications.
She's certainly walking a tightrope at the moment.
Mom has gone through ups and downs but I think her faith has really helped her. My brother and I try to support her as much as we can too. I'm very sorry to hear about Joan's husband! Their family will be in my thoughts. I hope he has a full recovery!
