Lost My Marbles

I use to have so much balanced on a plate
Not so much anymore these days
Do I have anything left to satiate

Now I grip tightly 3 marbles in one hand
Faith, Hope and Love these three
Are the things I have left upon to stand

It is faith that keeps me from toppling backward
A strong hand pressed gently upon my back
Ever and always there to catapult me forward

The other pulls me out of bed each day
A hope that dreams will come true
that stops me from giving up and paves me a way

The last of me is the marble that holds together my heart
a family who I could not live without
If I ever had to the rest of me would just fall apart

These are the marbles that keep me together
Through the glass I see past my forlorn state
I hope I don’t lose them like the rest
For then my sanity would be lost forever
