Keepers of Your Flame

Right now You’re a small bunch of cellsCan’t believe one day you may be Giving us hellHanging out with friends we don’t like Coming home way past midnight Right now You’re an ultrasound shape You’ve got a heartbeat, eyes, and limbs And even a weight I’m trying to keep my fears at bay Praying thatContinue reading “Keepers of Your Flame”
