More Than Enough
For D.K. Shepard's Keep it 100 Challenge
*
If I could live to be one hundred
Would I surpass your dreams for me
Could I live up to all you wanted
Represent your legacy
One hundred times I second guess it
One hundred ways to let you down
One hundred times I seem to forget
That’s never what it was about
When all you ever wanted for me
Never wishes, fortune or fame
You simply wanted happy for me
The chance to fit and find my place
So, as I go about my journey
A part of you always remains
For pieces of you, live within me
Rooting for me, all the way

You’ve captured the fine line between living up to expectations and people wanting the best for us.
Oh my, Kelli!! This is outstanding! What a beautiful poetic address to a loved one who clearly loved you dearly and was very precious to you! Each line tugged at my heart and it flowed so seamlessly
This is beautiful poetry.
You seem to give 100% in all your writing. Great work.
This is simply beautiful. I believe you're right, that they would want you to be happy. Well done,.my friend.
