It’s all so very fragile, <br />Wanting to be liked, <br />Wanting respect, <br />Someone to say, “Hey <br />I like you’re work, <br />I like your poetry, <br />I like your face, <br />I think your smart <br />You have a very, very <br />Giving heart. <br /> <br />But its rare, <br />Rare like love is rare. <br />Rare like tonight’s <br />Sunset was rare, <br />Rare like your child, <br />Rare like happiness <br />Is rare. <br />Rare like poets. <br /> <br />Its what we all want, <br />But its rare. <br />Even from me.<br /><br />Sandra Osborne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-rare/
