Sound Bites

I have found that I enjoy creating summarizing, 
poetic 'sound bites' to describe various parts of my life.

My current sound bites include: 

JOY and HOPE are back 
but it is still too soon
to LIVE LARGE. 

I have great JOY
but carried on the shoulders
of great SORROW.

Finally,

When describing our life I say,
Gregory is 'even'
and I am 'balanced.'

GIVING allows me such JOY
And what does it cost? Little!
