Gratitude

She could feel the sun on her face again

With every word you said

Royalty reentering her blood stream

And scalp growing a new crown, a golden flower weaving from the strands of her hair.

All because you saw her

All because you see me.

Like magic I'm whole again.

Like magic you make me matter.

And it is life giving.

If only you knew.

If only I had better words to say.

But for now I have this simple broken stanza

Of glory adorned in gratitude

For you.
