"I am offering this poem to you,

since I have nothing else to give.

Keep it like a warm coat

when winter comes to cover you,

or like a pair of thick socks

the cold cannot bite through,

I love you,"
In this first stanza is explaining how the poem should make you feel. You should feel a warm, loving feeling while reading this. The poet also provides a contrast method by imaging cold situations.

"I have nothing else to give you,

so it is a pot full of yellow corn

to warm your belly in winter,

it is a scarf for your head, to wear

over your hair, to tie up around your face,

I love you,"
This second stanza presents a comforting concept with providing example of when one would feel comforted and safe.

"Keep it, treasure this as you would

if you were lost, needing direction,

in the wilderness life becomes when mature;

and in the corner of your drawer,

tucked away like a cabin or hogan

in dense trees, come knocking,

and I will answer, give you directions,

and let you warm yourself by this fire,

rest by this fire, and make you feel safe

I love you,"
The third stanza by telling you this poem is a treasure and should be treated as such and the poet end it with presenting that they want to keep the reader comfortable and safe.

"It’s all I have to give,

and all anyone needs to live,

and to go on living inside,

when the world outside

no longer cares if you live or die;

remember,

I love you."
The poet end this poem with telling the reader to that no care if they live or die, this made a great shift in the story misleading the reader the whole time.

Some of the repeating phrases in the poem are "I have nothing else to give." and "I love you".
The repeat these to give the reader that feeling of importance and giving them something to hold onto so then the dramatic shift at the very end has a greater effect.

A phase that can be interpreted in two was so happened to be a important one to the poem, "I am offering this poem to you, since I have nothing else to give you". This can be taken two ways, one being the writer only has this poem left and nothing else or they have more but the reader only deserves this poem and nothing more.

My take on the Narrator of the poem is they could be someone writing to their lover or friend who had hurt or betrayed them. I believe this because the tone through out the majority of the poem is very calm and comforting and they constantly tell them that this poem is for the reader and only the reader and that this is all they have for the reader. But then takes a sharp turn telling the reader that no one really care if they live or die.
