Saddle

Neither being right every time
nor admitting when you are wrong.

Neither keeping a positive mind
nor ruing over past.

Neither knowing when to stop
nor just going on and on.

Neither being belligerent
nor always being calm.

Neither listening with honesty
nor staying quite and strong.

Neither being your true self
nor being clay in a mold.

Neither being accepting
nor being persistent for change.

Getting back on the saddle each time
is what matters the most.
