Warm Hearted Appreciation For Her As She Sleeps

sometimes in the winter 
is when i can breathe the best
the minty mist in the morning 
fills me up with zest
i look at her still sleeping
i feel fulfilled and blessed
i head to the kitchen to make her breakfast
she has my heart i do confess
i remember when i was dying
she saved my life indeed
she lifted my head when i was crying
she helped me grow with a brand new seed
a few of my friends now are cheating
unappreciative of God's Gifts
their struggles will soon be repeating
as a result their spirits will shift
i appreciate the queen that crowns me
each and everyday when i rise
for when her crown is slapped from her head and stomped on
in the end it is the other one that cries
