I Am

Everything

I am the lost in get lost, and the “miss” in mistake

I’m the deed” when a misdeed’s at hand

I am the first call, when a bad call is about to be made

And the soft place, when you need to land.

I am the voice when all reason is missing

The instant message, when things start to drag

I am the lip gloss, before you start kissing

And the last one left holding the bag

I am the good in-the hurt of a goodbye

The Hail Mary when you need a prayer

I’m the good time you’re feeling when things are high

I am the even when things are unfair

Whatever you need, I can be it

There is nothing to changing my view

When the world has you taking too many hits

I can make it so that you feel brand new

    Holy shit, Kelli! This was magnificent. Your talent just knows no bounds. You should really make a book of your works, or two or three!!

  • This was soooooo wonderful! I loved it!

  • And then you follow the last one (which was hysterical), with this one, so meaningful & sentimental.
