A startled gasp
for things that pass
A longing glance
when things don't last
A hope for love
as goosebumps rise
Push becomes shove
painful goodbyes
Emotions grow
when letting go
Wrapped up in shadows
afterglow
Collecting stars
and four leaf clovers
To wish upon
when pain takes over
Following paths
that were washed away
By tears and laughter
along the way
Finding the courage
to move on
When the the road left for us
is all but gone
That fateful step
and the great unknown
When all that's left
is moving on
There's nothing left
but jumping off
Take your next step
and claim your life

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.

The Mistress of rhyme is back. Loved this one Kellie and the way it bounces along.
The next step, although scary, can be exhilarating, though!! Nailed it...very empowering
♥️Your words deepened the meaning behind the photo you chose 🤍 I found the flow and rhythm… ♥️ deceptively inviting … with the personality of a burnt match stick. Nicely done as always, Kelli ♥️🤗
