There You Are

Thank You

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 11 months ago Updated 11 months ago 1 min read

There you are, by my side

when my world falls apart

there you are, tucked inside

of the whole of my heart

There you are, holding tight

keeping me safe from harm

There you are, wrong or right

showing me who you are

There you are, look at you

demure and unassuming

Is there nothing you can't do

like a field of flowers blooming

Look at you, there you are

when I need you the most

My own shooting star

holding everything close

Here I am, on my knees

as grateful as anticipation

for whatever I'm needing

you will come through with, again

    I so relate to this...I don't know what I'd do without my fur babies. That is such a beautiful fur baby in the picture, too.

  • Our kittens tend to be the same way. Our emotional support friends.
