    the best - I love the Yeats one quoted by painful_ginsu, and also Christopher Marlowe's "Passionate Shepherd to His Love" albeit a little too oft-quoted.

    my personal favorite (by no means "best," but best to me) is one of my own, "child":

    primordial child
    you bring the past alive for me
    as you run along the edge
    of the Earth and sea
    So newly born of them,
    you radiate their wisdom
    and stay their momentum
    with your every nimble step
    You connect me to the ancient
    and the timeless
    And fill me with the
    voices of the ages

    Your smile carries me
    to times as yet unknown
    Like the Cheshire Cat's,
    holding
    as the background dims and changes
    And I see the smile of a man
    falling into himself
    as his bride glides
    on a cloud of love,
    to stand at his side;
    The smile of a father
    seeing his child born -
    Both crying,
    the circle complete

    The voices chorus
    as the smile tips upwards
    and you search my eyes
    You reach for me -
    lift my heart as I lift your body
    You've come for a kiss
    a hug
    some milk
    I fold you in
    and close my eyes
    to hear the hush of the waves
    The weight of your body in my arms
    tells me you are flesh
    But I know
    you are made of love
    and all there ever was
