Analysis of Surrender
Jennifer D Bracken 1993 (Alabama)
Surrender to me oh precious flower
Bloom untill you blossom gracefully under the moon and in the Sun do not be fearful of the darkness that may come
surrender yourself to me for me is who I am
growing and glowing in the roots sprouting threw the luscious land
May the rain wash me and the grass grow surrender myself to me and me alone
protect my petals as I stand out.

About this poem
About a girl surrending herself to woman hood. It's about her being aware of her body and protecting herself. To believe in herself. That her body is precious. She belongs to herself.
