Forks and Spoons

Everything has a purpose.

One size doesn’t fit all.

Some meals require spoons.

You can’t eat soup with a fork.

You don’t need to be the sharpest

tool in the shed. You can build

houses with hammers and nails.

Not all animals need tails.

You can’t always be a swiss army

knife. Don’t put that pressure on

yourself. That’s not life. No one

knows it all. Those who stand too

tall are bound to fall. There are

forks and spoons. There are uses

for both. We all see the world

through different eyes. Things

in our brains influence the way

we see situations. Everyone is unique.

Our questions may be similar,

yet the answers we seek vary.

There are different players

in the same game. At the core,

we are humans with a heart and soul.

What works for one might not

work for the other. Sisters or

brothers – fathers or mothers

all have a role working for

the same goal. Some use cups

while others use bowls. Although

we sit in different chairs,

we eat dinner at the same table.

One thing we have in common is

that we are different. When life unravels,

we choose what path to travel.

You may be a fork or a spoon.

However, the night needs a moon,

and the day needs a sun.

Just know that the journey will end

whether we have legs to run,

cars to drive, or wings to fly.

All I know is that we are alive.
