Tell Me What This Is

Tell Me What This is ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It’s a necessity as air is to breathe It’s what keeps your heart visible on your sleeve It’s the certainty that makes you believe It’s what ensures you have no reason to leave It’s the complete freedom of mind It’s what you give time after time It’s the butterflies and goose bump chills It’s the reason you find small things a thrill It’s the comfort you have when alone It’s what makes your house a home It’s the memories that make you smile It’s what you see in the eyes of a child It’s a gentle reminder of why you give It’s the desire and will to live It’s what keeps you going when you have nothing left It’s still alive even after death It’s a blessing from up above It is Trust and it is Love… Lay

It's something that tells it all It's a poem that stands quite tall. I like the words you have written here. It's well-stated and its meaning is clear. This is something written well. I would say you have rung another bell.
