A poem for a Swan...
To give on
this day of our love for each other
a gift of
the presence of our most secret other.
To share
what is precious in our hearts and our souls,
to give
strength and compassion our noblest of goals.
A Swan in
the making, who was considered but an ugly duck,
has proved
to his friends that he indeed was in luck,
a beautiful
swan who grew in grace
while she
suffered the taunts of the whole human race.
With a heart
that was pure and was want to feel,
found happiness,
found love, in a dress and heels.
Her love
knew few bounds, was given in innocence,
to another
she felt might share her way and pence.
Though given
to love, but cast with self doubt,
She has
struggled to blend to a gender left out,
to feel
what is natural to those not so chosen,
she gave
of her soul, but could not keep posin',
She fights
for her right to be seen as a lady,
amongst
those who would convict her as being quite shady,
to prove
to the lot,
that this
matters not,
that she
has much to contribute,
to a world
so destitute
of the compassion
she bears,
and so freely
shares.
Love, Jamie
