Above It All

by Kelli J Gavin


You’ve been elevated
Above it all
You have been placed
In a position
Above it all
The rest doesn’t matter
It is just background noise
I may have placed you there
To protect you
To make sure no one else
Could ever touch you
Hurt you
Take you
From me
Above it all
Stay there
You’ve been elevated
Above it all
