a better person

you're a better
person
rested.
with a full
stomach
and the bills
paid, a few
dollars
extra
in your pocket.
you're a better
person,
when you
aren't sick,
or out of work,
or when
the roof
doesn't leak.
you're a better
person
with a new
pair of shoes
to walk in,
when the sun is out,
when you're
around to
hold me when
I fall asleep.
