Who am I?

I am a woman cares with all her heart. I am protective and defensive of those I love and care for. I may forgive but I don't forget. I have a tiger's spirit. I can be calm, beautiful and something rare and special to behold. However you poke, threaten something/someone I care about or back me into a corner you can expect me to respond true to my nature. My stripes don't change. I will not do or say anything I am not willing to say directly to your face. I treat others the way I hope to be treated. So I suggest you let the tiger lay quietly or risk being bitten and torn to pieces.

That is who I am.

A slave's plea

Think of me, Master...
know that I live...
hear my heart beating...
listen for my soul's voice...

Hear me, Master....
my voice, my heart, my soul...
listen for needs spoken and silent...
that are sometimes so hard to express...

Share with me, Master...
Your happiness, Your excitement, Your goals...
allow me to bask in Your delight...
permit me to see Your tranquility...

Confide in me, Master...
Your pain, Your fears, Your disappointments...
allow me to lend You my support...
permit me to try and relieve Your burdens...

Teach me, Master...
Your desires, Your needs, Your dreams...
let me make them real for You...
as You have so often done for me...

Respect me, Master...
treat me as a cherished toy...
make me Your favored pet...
show me how much You value my gift...

Feel me, Master...
standing near like a wraith...
tangible to Your senses....
beside You as You go through Your day...

Hold me, Master...
in arms that are my safety and shield...
wrap me tight in Your embrace...
protect me from the world, and myself...

Caress me, Master...
with a touch only You can give...
cause my flesh to crave Your attention...
make me beg to yeild...

Play with me, Master...
take me down from my shelf and dust me off...
handle me, fondle me, tease me...
permit me to see the joy I can bring...

Desire me, Master...
touch me with passion...
engulf me with Your fire...
surround me with Your intensity...

Use me, Master...
encourage my skills...
accept the pleasures I can provide...
offer me an outlet for my talents...

Grow with me, Master...
let us learn side by side...
explore the wonders together...
and create new ones as we go...

Dream with me, Master...
fantasize, envision, and seek...
let us go as far as our minds will allow...
our imaginations our only limit...

Release me, Master...
set me free to be who I am...
give me the freedom to soar...
grant me the ability to be true...
