Handle Me With Care Poem by Rozi Khan

Handle me with care…

Make me a poultice for broken hearts
The beauty of flowers in arid deserts;
Evaluate me well in balance of mind
Or leave me untouched dumb `n blind.

I am the power that heals `n wounds
A potent potion for friends and foes,
I can please `n can prick like a spine
Handle me with heed `n well consign.

So, give me prudently out with care
Dressed in garments sweet and dear,
Make me respectful in people’s eye
Send me messenger of love and joy.

Make me radiance or gloomy night
Bestow me vision or steal my light,
I am a word- a thorn and a flower;
Put to your use by heavenly power.
