Stolen Fruit

Stolen fruit is sweet, they say,
But what of fruit freely given?
For which of us can own the sun and rain?
No one, so say I to you.

And stolen kisses too, they say, are sweet,
Yet what of kisses freely given?
For who does own the heart and soul?
Only that which indwells.

So anyone can pluck a fruit,
From a tree unyielding,
But no one can truly steal a kiss,
For each does own their own soul.

And a soul freely given is ever safe from theft.
