David Herbert Lawrence

BUT now I am full and strong and certain With you there firm at the core of me Keeping me. How sure I feel, how warm and strong and happy

For the future! How sure the future is within me; I am like a seed with a perfect flower enclosed. I wonder what it will be, What will come forth of us.

What flower, my love? No matter, I am so happy, I feel like a firm, rich, healthy root, Rejoicing in what is to come.

How I depend on you utterly My little one, my big one! How everything that will be, will not be of me, Nor of either of us,

But of both of us.
