Pride In You

I am proud of you.

I see your goodness and it makes you shine amongst the others.

I see you smile and I resist to make you laugh,

because I can win you over,

but I need to win you fair.

I am proud of you.

You are strong with all your cards.

You fold sometimes,

but it's only to make the others look good.

I am proud of you

and the way you wake yourself up.

Your senses first and then you know

and you uncurl even as I stay coiled.

I am proud of you

and the way you can speak the words I long to say.

The way you pray.

The way you say things I can't understand.

I don't understand.

...but, I am proud of you.
