Answer:

1) “I have nothing else to give you, so it is a pot full of yellow corn”

2) “Keep it, treasure this as you would if you were lost, needing direction,”

3) “and I will answer, give you directions, and let you warm yourself by this fire,”

4) “It’s all I have to give, and all anyone needs to live,”

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem is below:

"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,

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,

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,

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" (Baca).

Have a lovely rest of your day! :)
