The Delicate Things Of Life

The delicate intricacy
Of a spider web.
A blown glass art piece
Designed in the artists head.

A drop of dew
On a blade of grass--
A newborns' first smile,
Everyone swears it's gas.

The faith and trust
People place in you--
Your children knowing you love them
No matter what they do.

The delicate folds
Of a rose,
The delicate wings of a butterfly
As out of it's cocoon it grows.

The paper thin skin
Of an elder you love
As you hold their hand
Before God takes them above.

The love between couples
Standing the test of time--
A truce between two countries
As tensions climb.

A new Christians' faith
Being nurtured along,
The notes and the lyrics
Of a beautiful song.

A persons' self confidence
Or self- esteem,
Taking that first step
Of faith to follow your dream.

These are some of the
Delicate things of life--
Handle with care,
Their value has no price.
