As Fragile as A stick
Strong as A titanium
Sheltered by walls
Broken by doors
Precious to those loved
Never borrowed, never old
A life so complete it captures
All the light in the sky
All the excitement around
Unaffected by tragedy
Untouched by reality
A joy welcomed
Shared and brought by another life
A blessing gift wrapped and enchanted
The feeling of butterflies fluttering about and flowers just blooming
All this and more encased in a single life
