From the Collection Poems of the Heart by Abigayle

  WHAT IS LOVE

(Abigayle, 1985)

Picture a Arosebud@...

sweet smelling... seductive...

each petal, a true work of art!

Then see how it changes,

unfolding - maturing....

yet beautiful right from the start.

Take care when you touch it,

it=s fragile...and priceless....

Be gentle, and watch as it grows.

         But no matter its beauty...

          caress it with caution.

   Sharp thorns lie directly below!
