Tug of War

Life is a constant
tug of war,
and there are
many worthy ropes
to pull.

Who has the strength
to grasp them all,
who has the fire
and the fuel?

And if that
boundless brawn
were found
within one person,
do recall,

two hands alone
we each possess,
to grab new ropes
old ropes must fall.

Hi, my name is Jacob Anton (ANN-tin) Davis. I am a husband, father, attorney, and writer. I have written poetry and fiction as a hobby for the past 20 years, but I launched J. Anton Poetry in 2019 to share my writing publicly. The poems of mine on this site largely describe my thoughts about the deeper connections and meaning in our everyday lives.
