MY GIFT TO YOU, by DENNIS H. STOVALL First Line: The finest fibers of my life Last Line: Shall tangle 'round your feet. Subject(s): Mothers | ||||||||
THE finest fibers of my life-- A gift from that above-- I weave around your soul, my babe, With threads of tender love. Life's alabaster-box I break, And pour upon your head, That the perfume of sacrifice May through your being spread. And though you wander far in sin, Still true my heart shall beat, And even then your mother's prayer Shall tangle 'round your feet. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY MOTHER'S HANDS by ANDREW HUDGINS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS IN THE 25TH YEAR OF MY MOTHER'S DEATH by JUDY JORDAN THE PAIDLIN' WEAN by ALEXANDER ANDERSON BLASTING FROM HEAVEN by PHILIP LEVINE PLACES: 4.
