Fragile and Beloved

I was reading about epilepsy and FASD and depression.
Trying to understand your brain and how you became the way you are.
The more I read the more I love you and the more
I wish you understood just how precious you are.
Your fragility crushes my heart with something that is NOT pity.
It overwhelms me with the need to give you all the love you have missed
because you feel broken and worthless and hopeless.

There is nothing I want more than to wrap you up in me,
Taste your kisses and protect you from your fears.
