Ode to Birthgiver

Ode To Birthgiver

Oh gentle touch,
Soothing voice
Gives without receiving as if she a saint
Oh Birthgiver
I ache for your comfort,
your hugs,
your gentle voice,
your soft, brown hair,
and your soft skin.
Oh Mother,
do I have a gift for you,
A very special gift
Oh my gift,
my gift to you
is my heart,
my beating vessel,
for the only one i trust with it is oh so you.

[John the Baptist]

Liked the unique, spare wording of this one and the restrained but moving imagery. Much superior to the usual run of love poems. Well done.
