I Will Nurture You
I will float into your need
on a lifeboat
laden with my learned
cultural information,
ready to immerse you
in my wisdom.
Wait! Come back!
Whatever our souls are
made of they are
not the same. You will be you and
I will be me, joined by our
uniqueness
As you digest the truths I bring
and discard the lies.
I will nurture your awareness
of your own strong voice
with my affection,
until we belong to
each other.
