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!

Hi kiddo. This just popped in head so I figured, what the hell! I hope you and the little one are happy and well. Still writing poems you hippie? Would be fun to do a reading with bongos and black lights! Want to get freaky and do it? Be cool...xoxo...Mel
