Fragile

Coralie

Like a new baby held in your arms
Be gentle with me
And apologize not
For any pain upon me placed

Like a small child
Full of innocence
And genuine smiles
For care of me you've taken

This is a matter of trust
It is a matter of love
And all that we build
Will crumble not

It is in all these things
From this bond of two
And in the nurturing truths
One learns independence.
