-- In the Balance of the Scale -- John Herlihy We have ears, But what do we listen to? We listen, but what do we hear? We hear, But what do we take in> We take in, Bu what do we realize? We realize, But what do we internalize? We internalize, But what do we really know? We know, But what do we really do> We do things, These things sit on a scale. The scale actions hold, In the balance, all will be told. - - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Wednesday 10 March 2021
