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
