My heart is fragile and can easily break

Its love is endless no matter what is at stake

It trusts anyone who means a lot to him

It is filled with forgiveness to the rim

Handle with care!

My mind is tickled by its natural curiosity

It is an eternal learner in search of diversity

Its imagination like the sky, has no limits

Its memories are priceless unless Alzheimer's hits

Handle with care!

My senses guide me through life without a doubt

They provide me with the vision of my future route

The sound of your voice, the smell of a feast

The taste of sugar, feeling the wind from the East

Handle with care!

My lungs breathe deeply the fresh country air

Beware of the second hand smoke that stinks up my hair

The pollution of the city that lurks around buildings

The chemicals that affect the health of my siblings

Handle with care!

My back supports me regardless of the conditions

It always offers me its best regardless of my actions

While therapeutic massages would benefit thee

I often forget to treat my back as it does me

Handle with care!

My hands always take charge of my needs

They do as required to care for the body it feeds

Comforting, creating, hygiene and even working

They are the source of all actions and creations

Handle with care!

My feet get me from point A to point B every day

They are not demanding, have no complaint to say

They are always giving me their best performance

Regardless of speed, surfaces and distance

Handle with care!

My emotions are the thermometer of my personality

They are unique to me, keeping me from anonymity

They come with bad habits, faults and a temperament

They describe my attitude, my joys and my fears of predicaments

Handle with care!

My age does not matter as it is a sign of maturity

My beliefs, my origins, my religion reflect on my personality

My sex, my sexuality should not diminish my value as a human

My choices and mistakes tell you who I am, as a man or woman

Handle with care!
