My Ultimate Motivator

he saw the parts of me that no one else could,
and befriended me for real, when no one else would.

he saw the potential that even i couldn't,
and helped beckon out the part of me that was woman.

he sees what i have the potential to be --
and is helping me become it, finally.

way back before he started helping me change,
he could already visualize what we could achieve, in his brain.

his belief in what i can do makes me believe in myself --
an accomplishment in and of itself.

so i strive to be
what he can see:
to be the example,
and give others a sample,
of what he can do to help others be their very best,
by following all he teaches and suggests.

so i will work harder to represent
all the time and energy he's spent.
to have a real man guiding me makes all the difference —
cutting through my lifetime's worth of nonsense and ignorance.
i feel blessed to get to wrap my life around his,
and know that that's what my purpose is.

he's even greater than i can capture in writing:
all i can do is a bit of highlighting.
and i will continue to convey,
what i get to witness and experience every day,
because i want to recognize,
how fortunate i feel to get to be by his side.

thank you, my king, for all that you bring --
you really make my heart sing.

Love,
