Safety Net Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I...
Want to be,
Your 'best' flavor.
Everyday and not to fade.

And I...
Want to be,
That flavor you will favor.
Everyday to have it craved.

Whenever your head,
Is tossing doubts about...
With them to come to knocking,
To do nonstop.
Just know I...
Want a lot to be,
That choice you taste to savor.

Those days you're walking tightropes,
I'll be your safety net.
Those days you're walking tightropes,
Place on me your winning bet.
Those days you're walking tightropes,
Know I'm in your corner.
Don't think yourself a goner.
Not yet to forget,
That I...
Want to be,
That flavor you will savor.

Those days you're walking tightropes,
I'll be your safety net.
Those days you're walking tightropes,
Place on me your winning bet.
Those days you're walking tightropes,
Know I'm in your corner.
Don't think yourself a goner.
Not yet!

Whenever your head,
Is tossing doubts about...
With them to come to knocking,
To do nonstop.
Call on me and I'll come running,
To stop those doubts you've got.
And block them from them coming,
Before they come to knock.

Those days you're walking tightropes,
I'll be your safety net.
Those days you're walking tightropes,
Place on me your winning bet.
Those days you're walking tightropes,
Know I'm in your corner.
Don't think yourself a goner.
Not yet!

Know I...
Want to be,
Your 'best' flavor.
Everyday and not to fade.

And I...
Want to be,
That flavor you will favor.
Everyday to have it craved.

Count on me.
I'll be there to be your safety net.
Count on me.
If you want to keep a winning bet
Count on me.
And don't forget,
I'm your safety net to never second guess.
