I've seen the softness of your heart and the beauty of your soul.

I was touched by the sweetness and intent of your smile.

Your perseverance and strength has a purpose attached to it.

You carry the weight of your fame on your shoulders, and seldom complain.

You forever strive to make of this world, surrounding you, a better place.

Yet you don't even have half of what I possess.

You can only rely on your own strength, and the strength that was lent to you by those surrounding you.

I envy the intent and passion with which you live your life.

To the fullest despite the uncertainties surrounding you.

This makes me reconsider the intent and drive with which I have been living.

Me, the one who has the real strength and knows the real comfort.

I don't give enough of myself.

I don't strive and I don't push hard enough.

I don't run fast enough.

I don't fly as high as I should on the wings that have been given to me.

You fly on those that you built for yourself.

If there's one thing that you taught me,

it's that I should do better.

I will strive to do better.

But not by my own strength.
