Life is a glass we hold on high
A vessel that we cannot deny
A fragile thing that we must tend
And cherish it until the very end.
Clear and bright, our glass life shines
A prism of colours, a thousand designs
A reflection of all our hopes and dreams
A fragile thing, or so it seems.
Our glass life is not meant to break
But a sudden blow, a mistake
And everything can shatter apart
Leaving behind a broken heart.
Through these fractures, we can see
All our flaws and impurities
And in these moments, we grow and learn
For it's in these cracks we can discern.
Our glass life must be handled with care
For in its beauty, we often forget to beware
Of those who would handle it too hard
Till it shatters apart, leaving us scarred.
So hold your glass life with careful hands
And take it with you throughout all lands
For in its fragility lies its beauty
A precious thing, a duty, a joy, a duty.
