Quite Fragile

Quite Fragile

Quite fragile is the trusting breast
that gives completely all its faith
with belief in human goodness
that offers rather than it takes.

Easily it can be shattered
like crystal on a concrete floor
precious blood tie that is splattered
destroyed innocence at the core.

Quite fragile is the trusting smile
that goes behind the stormy clouds
at sight of evil deeds so vile
or angry words from angry mouths.

Fragile things need special caring.
Some with the soul are only felt.
Love, faith, loyalty and sharing, 
cause even toughened hearts to melt.
