Gingerly
by Lyle Berry (Age: 61)
copyright 08-04-2003


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
It’s how we hold a newborn babe,
or touch an orchid petal -
a tentativeness to our ways
as lightly our hands settle.

It’s how we wipe a tear-streaked cheek
and how we kiss the dying -
a delicateness for the meek
while we, inside, are crying.

A way we are, in tenderness,
a way all ought to be -
in kindly, loving gentleness
show mercy, gingerly.

That's so true. We can't be remorseful until we learn to cry.

Tenderly or gingerly, quite a different feel from Snow White. I am glad you removed your hat. Jaded or romantic, your work is very well done.
