A Poem – "The Gifts of Submission and Leadership"

Oh darling, I beseech thee,
with my gift of submission.
I give thee this gift –
from myself, of myself, within myself.
My mind, my body, my soul –
are yours.
Unquestioningly, undenyingly,
I surrender to your authority,
and obey your will.

Thank you for your gift of leadership,
which I do follow.
In the darkness I hold your hand,
and follow –
Your love my guiding light.
Unseeingly, unendingly,
trusting your lead blindly.
I bask in your protection,
which radiates with love.

Embracing my surrender,
I bow towards your lead.
