Fragile, Handle With Care

“ Fragile , Handle With Care” 

 

 Born in 1966 fresh from mama’s womb

Born into a family of the baby boom

So young so sweet, youngest now of five

Be careful, be gentile for he’s a newborn child

Just look at his peepers when he smiles and when he stares

Fragile, handle with care

High school came and went back ‘round 1984

Then first love and marriage with child

And then the one big sore

And his drinking caused divorce

Be careful, be quiet, he’s headed out the door

And to look into his peepers found the loneliest stare

Fragile, handle with care

It’s been many years, he’s crawled out of the bottle now

When God opened up his eyes

He lives to help others and so much to his surprise

He thinks, be grateful, be calm now and handle with care

 

Don’t know if YOU’VE been there

Don’t know if you’d dare

But I certainly have…so PLEASE

 Handle with care

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
