Fragile Legs

A miserable woman she is any weight other than the body is too much and must slide and fall but the woman never learns She carries a pot of water from spring but the legs, too weak gives way and the pot drops, breaking into pieces but the woman never learns She carries a baby on the back but the legs tremble and she falls and the baby drops down injured but the woman never learns She asks to help old man carry milk but the legs pain and she falls half-way and the old man weeps for his milk but the woman never learns A compassionate heart in a weak body! a weak heart in a powerful strong body! fall on knees and pray for better choice in this world humans never learn!
