Wings of a Butterfly
So brittle the heart can be
Like the wings of a butterfly
Do touch and grasp
But don't bend, even slightly
Wrap it in your warm embrace
But don't squeeze too tightly
For there's no disclaimer
That reads "Handle with Care,"
So pick it up, hold it rightly
Then set it down, very gently
