Upgrade Through Upliftment

you have taken over my heart and my soul
i have taken your hand, and we are now on a roll

the places we have been inspires us to see more
the attractions that we have seen makes want to go further and explore

i realize now that i have been suspended in poor choices and lost
for the rips in my life that i made i have surely paid the cost

you reminded me that i can, i will, and i matter
you picked me up from the debris and made me clean up the splatter

when i finally looked up and paid attention i woke up with a start
now in silence i pray that life will not tear us apart

if it ever comes to that, for my renewal i have you to thank
for it is through your guidance that have risen again in rank
