The Love I Give

Sep 26, 2016 | 2016 Fall - Does Gender matter?, Articles, Poetry

By Jo-Anne Carlson

He or she
You, me,
Together.
I feel free,
No matter
The parts you have.
He or she,
Within, without,
Never defines
The love I give
You, me,
Together.
The person within
Brings joy, and still
Who you are
Is all that matters,
The love I give
You, me
Together
