So Delicate a Thing

So delicate a thing is this,
To touch a hand, or try a kiss;
Then cling to love, or let it be...
To forever hold, or set it free.

Their simplicity belies the truth contained. While it will ring true to most, their importance is usually lost until life pushes a person to make those choices. Thanks again!
