Poem: Balance Is the Key to Happiness

~ Brenda Marie Fluharty

Between the dawn and fading light,
Where day surrenders into night,
A quiet truth begins to bloom—
A whispered peace in every room.

Not all is won by running fast,
Nor lost by letting moments pass;
The heart beats best when rhythms blend—
When work and rest stay gentle friends.

Joy thrives not in the grand extremes,
But in the space between our dreams;
In steady breaths, in measured pace,
In giving life a little grace.

So walk the line both firm and free,
Stand rooted like the oldest tree;
For in the balance we create,
We learn to love, to live, to wait.

And happiness, with open hands,
Arrives exactly where we stand—
A quiet guest who always knew
That balance leads us back to you.

Thank-you for reading.

Remember there are many paths back to God.

Follow your own path,

Brenda Marie

  1. This poem is absolutely lovely, Brenda. You have a beautiful gift for capturing the essence of a quiet, profound truth. The message of finding peace and joy not in extremes, but in the gentle, deliberate balance of life, is both comforting and wise. The imagery is serene and powerful—from the “whispered peace in every room” to standing “rooted like the oldest tree.”

    The final stanza is particularly moving, personifying happiness as a quiet guest who knows that true contentment is found right where we are, in the balance we cultivate. It feels like a gentle reminder and a warm embrace all at once. Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and beautifully crafted piece. It’s a true reflection of depth and grace.🤝
