Fragile like crystals

of glass blown into one vase

to display flowers.

Versatile like soybeans

blended and flavored to taste

to give the body power.

Exposed like blood

that flows from wounds in haste

to be replaced with new life.

Brave in ways no soldiers know;

shot a thousand times by friend and foe,

but never dies;

endures pains and poisons

and with courage cries.

Risks the danger of forsaking self

in hopes that others

might find true wealth.
