I'm there when gymnasts take flight
I'm done to make the books right
I'm connected with your ear
Without me, a fall is near
Taps make easy the going
But one day I'll be owing
What am I?

Answer
the word "balance"Line 1: One of the apparatuses of a gymnast is the balance beam.
Line 2: When they balance the books, an accountant or bookkeeper makes them "right".
Lines 3-4: The ear plays a role in one's sense of balance. If one's sense of balance is compromised, the prospect of falling becomes more likely.
Lines 5-6: The word "taps" refers to using the tap feature of a credit card when making purchases, making the transactions convenient. Although a credit card affords you freedom/convenience in making purchases, eventually you must pay the balance owing.
