Start of Life
Touch me with a feeble hand.
Speak to me with a cautious tongue.
Look at me with a pair of open eyes.
Treat me like a little girl's porcelain doll.
Hold me like a new mother's child
and worry about me like a dog to its bone.
Support me like legs to a
table, chair, a human.
Though set me free like a bird from a cage.
Let me soar the winds,
the rains,and find out
for myself
where life possibly begins
without you.
