Not my self, nor my heart,
but this segment of my life
would I give you to share.
Not for your benefit alone,
but for mine also.
To learn from you and with you;
to know the best of what we’ll allow to be.
And when we have reaped the beauty
of each other’s being,
we can part with a feeling of contentment
and take with us
the bounty of every smile.
