Fragility Factor

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. -Plato

Feel the rhythm, hear the beats
It is alive
It truly is
Let it not be filled with greed
This bearer of hope, wonder and bliss

Damage not this fragile heart

Of a child too young at age
For his innocence should be kept in piece

It is strong
But it is weak
May you listen, and may you please
Be kind and be gentle
For just at least

Damage not this fragile heart

Of an affectionate mother with a pretty face
For her sacrifice is a sum you cannot repay

And damage not this fragile heart

Of a devoted lover who cared for her mate
For passion, a gift, is not for play

From her heart,
-joyce.
