What's the Risk In Us Caring ?

What's the Risk In Us Caring ?

A Poem by Desert Knave
"

a third attempt at this poem

"
Just why, pray tell, my friend
Are you simply staring ?
I only asked of you
What's the actual risk
In both of us caring,
While we have all this time
We two could be sharing ?
Or is that just too daring ?

There is no risk in caring....the risk shows up when only one person is caring and the other is ignoring that care. It really is daring to take that leap and care. Good one, Jim. Lydi**
