Because of you, in so many ways —
I am stronger...
I am better.No longer am I weak and tethered;
Your acquaintance released my fetter.
~
Your quick wit makes me laugh;
...I am happier. Your unfailing support bolsters me;
...I am more confident. Your gentle advice nudges me;
...I am more productive. Your unerring perception enlightens me;
...I am healthier. Your faithful love empowers me;
...I am more trusting. Your quiet encouragement ameliorates me;
...I am more patient.~
Better than you? Ridiculous,
Absurd, and patently untrue.
Indisputable, however, is that
I am a better me...
because of you.
