To boldly give

Though words may woo she will not be fooled  
By charm and pictures hollow  
Second to none she was born as one 
And as one she shall remain 

Substance of stem she has uncovered  
Thankful to roots from which it came  
She gives of herself without restraint
No gain nor agenda sought

Some reach to take, to use and dilute  
Yet her dare to boldness soars 
Yields to adventure, fervour, fullness  
Alluring with zest untamed 

To offer fair words when hands are held 
Is a liberty unpossessed 
To give without expectation 
A trail he hath yet to tread 

For until he learns where lack resides 
With knowledge of strengths stand tall 
True affection will his never be  
Nor stillness within his soul
