Pared

The capacity t'give th'goods
Backup and Support
To nurture and feed love so
Tempered by the ease
With which one can destroy
Lay ruin at
The root of the soul
Of a human
Being

It's hard t'tread s'lightly
Careful and with thought
But to have to forge on so
Assuredly. I'd like
To say I am doing
My best. I can!
But isn't everyone
Maybe?
