Sit On Those Hands

An innate spring of life the spirit 
spurs fain
The happy veins when you see these 
faces. 
A love that tramples any storm. Life 
is 
A cheap offering just for these 
offsprings. 

Such pull puts the brain on a thin 
thread. Blurs
What's right and meekly thrust the 
most wrong turn. 
It makes men make moves to see 
them unscathed
Not aware the right wound is all it 
takes. 

Most times we fear what the world 
might do them.
Not noticing we could be their worst 
friends. 
So we keep them from the ledge with 
lies true
Only to be stung at the end by much 
good.

The fragile hands will get fried, we 
retort.
Turning then to fresh toys that can 
wash plate.
We then blame and expect them to 
game what they
Were not taught. Forgetting we are at 
fault.

This dainty love has thorns; lammed 
if we try
To sit on our hands. They should 
reap their seeds.
See life as a bed of both pines and 
mines.
Then can we arrests regrets ere it 
gets dim.
