In re-reading this piece, I found a line that needed fixing. Also, for clarity for the reader: my idea on this comes from the hope I have to never crush a heart tender as a flower or beautiful as a gem. We are all worth budding to our own brilliance.
In the interest of good concsience
I resolve to your perfect whim,
The budding of your blossom
The luster in your gem,
To always aspire my foots perfect step
To tread lightly,
pure of heart,
Never to judge a flower
By the peddles falling apart.
For if by chance
by small decree
I neglect to observe,
A budding beauty
In noble prestige,
Then I too,
Will fall apart.
