Fragility of life

Fragility of Life

The glass you hold in your hand
Has a fragility about it

Unlike us humans 
It’s completely transparent 

But like us 
There is a need to handle with care

An accidental knock 
And the glass can crack or chip

As the glass tumbles to the floor
We know its fate 

But unlike the glass 
When we feel like we are in pieces 

We can heal 

A cracked glass can still hold water
A broken heart can be mended

Those shattered pieces 
Can be gathered up 

Made into a beautiful mosaic
Admired by many 

Like the chipped glass 
We can still fulfil our purpose
