The Fragility of LIfe

The Fragility of Life

Two happy hearts

Entwined by perfect love

Come crashing to the ground,

Without a sound;

Who really cares?

A perfect rosebud

Nipped by an early frost

Curls its petals in pain;

Soon it is gone.

No one misses it.

A wonderful world

A childlike fun and frolic

Suddenly destroyed

By senseless tragedy;

Unresolved by others.

A lovely, peaceful home

Enjoyed by all

Erupts into total havoc

For no apparent reason.

Who can restore it?

A world of hope

Where life is sweet

Destroyed by hopelessness

And utter defeat;

Like broken crystal.

The frailty of humankind;

At best, man is vulnerable,

Subjected to the rigors,

The tests of time

And the fragility of life.
