Frail Things

I keep thinking about fraility.

Frail Things

They are gentle,

the frail things that once seemed unbreakable and strong.

You start a family, you devote,

and the thing stands.

In Truth all things are frail, and break

when we are not looking.

Some give their whole lives that you may have

a strong thing.

See that thing, and keep it safe.
