thought i knew
what i wanted
independence
autonomy
making my own rules
setting my own boundaries
thought i knew

i never knew
i needed
protection
belonging
rules and boundaries
i never knew
until He said it
until He offered
tHe gift
of His protection
until He accepted
the gift
of my submission

in His arms
i am content
in His eyes
i am valuable
His precious property
to care for and to protect
to possess and to hold

my feminist friends
don't know what to say
they are concerned
why would i
give away my personal
power
why would i
hand over my life
to someone else
why would i
let him tell me
who i can date
who i can fuck
who i can play with
why would i
want to
sit at His feet
serve Him
give Him total access
to my mind
to my heart
to my body

i can't really
explain to them
if you don't feel it
you probably can't
understand it
but there is
freedom
in choosing
even when the choice is
to give your freedom
away
