We have what it takes.<\/p>\n
Do we?<\/p>\n
For real?<\/p>\n
For sure?<\/p>\n
For a fact?<\/p>\n
When it is all weighed;<\/p>\n
In the balance of time and life lived.<\/p>\n
In words kept, truth not told.<\/p>\n
In the balance of things done, and those unaccomplished.<\/p>\n

Without \u00a0restraint.<\/p>\n
Without a doubt.<\/p>\n
I too must strike a balance.<\/p>\n
