Egg shell

Your love is an egg shell,
Masterfully formed,
Pale white and smooth,
Fitting perfectly in the palm of my hand.
So much care must be taken,
To keep this natures wonder.
I try so hard to keep it safe,
But my hands are not steady.
And I fear,
I don’t have the talent,
To keep from dropping you.
