            FRAGILE
       By ... Steve Lucky

When dropped from table height
Glass is easily broken.
Thoughtless words too often spoken
Makes a heart feel not quite right.
One needs to try to keep within sight
Feelings about replies left unspoken.
Sometimes the cost is more than a token
If the would be replier quickly takes flight.
Needed time to answer the question
Of what to do when stubborn people meet
Keep suggestions coming and going like a blur.
Like food, statements need digestion.
Conflicts few people want to ever repeat
Far too easily can reoccur.
