My Gift to You
My Gift to You
k.n. senko

A young Ocampan girl
strikes out on her own.
She has no more family
or a place to call her home.

She leaves the city of her birth
and is captured by the Kazon:
A Talaxian named Neelix rescues her
with a group of aliens called Humans.

Thrown across the galaxy
they too, have lost their home.
She and Neelix join the crew,
not knowing what's to come.

Friends are found abundantly;
she changes and she grows.
To those who live around her,
her love and compassion shows.

Her family she now leaves,
not knowing what the future holds.
This girl is now a woman:
a beauty to behold.

Although she can't be with us
for the rest of our journey,
The adventure still continues;
her thoughts are with us, always.

The inspiration for the title of this poem
(and the poem itself)
came from the fourth season episode "The Gift"
in which Kes/Jennifer Lien states:  "My gift to you"
just before she throws Voyager 10,000 lightyears closer to home.
