She Sees Me

She said she would pray for me. In bed sleeping peacefully. Hands folded perfectly. 
Mercifully she speaks to me. Hopefully I'll better me. Let her be ahead of me. Steadily I'll 
pick up speed. Heavily, it hurts to breathe. I'm certain she has what I need. She's in my 
blood, she's what I bleed. She sees what I was and knows what I can be. She believes. She 
makes me want to succeed. She takes me for me.

She makes you want to be a better man which is great. Life should be filled with people that encourage like that. Keep writing. Sara
