Proud

I'm proud of you
for seeing past current circumstance
fighting through
past disappointment
releasing all obvious
past pain

You are a rare gem
a diamond amongst
shards of gold
In my eyes
you sparkle
your sheer will
glows
because I watched you
hold onto a belief
in yourself and in your future
when it seemed that
all hope was lost
and I recognize that drive
and hope you one day realize
all the wonderful achievements
and the bountiful future
you so richly deserve
