Take these words
Chisel them in stone
Rip emâ to shreds if youâd like
Without him in life
Life is nothing
Take all my achievements
Strip me down to the bone
Throw those accolades to the wolves
Bright lights blind
Applause can be stifling
If my biggest fan isnât standing in the crowd
God this career Iâve been building
Dreaming of since I was a kid
I can see it growing
But while my stanzas are flowing
Personally, it would be overwhelming
If those blue eyes didnât keep me grounded
Take every ounce of praise
Itâs not mine anyways
He taught me years ago to put you first
Oh, how I love that boy you created
From his intelligent curiosity
Down to the way he acts bossy
Such a kind soul
Has a grasp on what he feels
A faith unteachable
Even in the face of the unknown
Take those worries
Iâll carry them
Of all the business decisions I will ever make
Theyâre useless without him
See everyone has that person
Without them life is nothing.

About the Author
From a very young age, Elizabeth knew she was meant to be a writer. Around 8 or so, she started with little poems inside birthday cards. As years went by, poetry became her safe haven in a world full of chaos and beauty. Through written words, she found her voice. A voice according to doctors, she was never supposed to have. Today at 34, she still re- reads those poems from the early days. Now housed on her bookshelf in old binders.
