Your Gifts

Just as my body
is my own,
so my mind, also,
and my thoughts,
belong to me.
You cannot inject me
with your wisdom,
nor can it be force-fed.
And so, my love,
when you bring to me
your precious gifts
of knowledge,
that you have earned,
and learned...
offer them,
then let me taste,
and drink of my choice.
It isn't that I doubt
the value of the gift,
only that I must
examine what you have
come to believe,
before I can accept it
as my own...
