tally ho

from day one,
you and i
are walking
balance sheets
of joy and sorrow.

on one side,
weighs all the debts
and guilt,
and on the other,
credits and smiles.

sometimes
the scale will
tip to one side,
and some days
it will flip around.

till the final day,
when one last entry
will be made,
and we'll close
our books forever.
