Open the door, and let my soul escape, <br />To the faraway hills and shimmering lakes of my life, <br />And my wounded spirit, now with solace drape, <br />To flee from all the sorrow and the strife, <br />That builds, within this fragile frame, that's me. <br />And let not one single thought be free of thee, <br />For I shall with this heart, submit a plea, <br />That we'll be together, for all eternity.<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-fragile-frame/
