In my dreams
In my genius
You are the one work of promise
I made you
Then you made me
Complete
In my grace
In my prescience
I gave you life
To live in my presence
I made you
Then you made me
Complete
And if I gave you wings
And a voice that sings
I did it all just for me
And if I gave you love
It was over and above
All courtesy
In my search for pride and power
I reached for you every hour
I molded you from lifeless clay
One shady day
Then I touched your sightless eyes
They opened like the sunrise
I wrenched a life from the clay
That shady day
If we should ever reach the sun
I am the only one
Who touched it twice
And if I should ever die
You are the reason why
The one life could suffice

Gratitude For Life
The last time I laughed so hard that my belly hurt was ___________ Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts When I was 24 and going to a women's support group we would laugh, I would go home with a sore face and sore sides. Why? I wasn't used to smiling or laughing. After a few months of doing that, I never have a sore face, sides, or belly from laughing as I laugh enough.
