Love Poem: Can You

Can You

To love a woman
Is really a simple thing
You must first start with yourself
You must dig kind of deep
Her heart is a delicate flower
The pedals oh so soft
They need the gentleness of touches
Because if touched wrong they will break
They will fall from their stems
Slowly wither away
One by one dying
Never beautiful again
Are your hands so gentle
Never causing no harm??
Can you pick up the pedals of her heart
Collecting them one by one??
Can you make her feel beautiful
Despite all her flaws??
Can you make her feel worthy
Using a soft loving voice??
If you found her lifeless
From others before
Would you pick her up gently
Up off of the floor??
Would you tend to her soul??
Would you nurture her soil
Making water from her tears??
Would you always adore her
Like she's the most delicate beautiful rose
If all these you can handle
And handle with care
Then it's you who deserves her
To forever have and to hold
