In columns neat, where number's find their pace,
The balance speaks in silence, measured tone
Each line a story of a fleeting trace,
Of wealth and loss, in figures carved from stone
Beneath the surface, more than sum's appear,
The human touch behind each careful count
For in the ledger, hopes and dreams near,
A life, a toil, reduced to mere amount
Yet in this dance of digits, true and clear,
The heart of value pules through the sheet
Accounting tells a tale both far and near,
of trust and truth, where ethic and math meet
With ledger's grace, we weigh the light and shade
In figures small, the soul of trade is laid
Each sum a whisper, every line a sign
That life and numbers in their dance entwine!
