kente lucy - Soft Life

So soft and fragile is a woman's life
delicate like a rose's petals
that if trampled on, they die never to
come back to life.

Breakable like an egg is her life
that she has to be handled with gentility
to keep her glowing and youthful.

Graceful in character, like a giraffe walking
with her long crested neck,
Her heart full of compassion and love,

She delights in no pain, sorrow nor suffering
she hates wars, quarrels and disunity
all her efforts a directed to one;
A united family, united country, united world
Mother nature is what she is!
