An Ode to Chapstick

By Avalon Kelly

Oh chapstick,

Your smooth texture and peppermint tang

Your embossed tin, yellow and red

Your wholesome ingredients-

Beeswax

Coconut oil

Almond oil

And peppermint oil-

Leave my lips feeling refreshed and rejuvenated

You are always there for me

All four seasons of the year, I turn to you

To provide instant relief for my chapped lips

Without you, my world crumbles

Life would be meaningless if not for my

All-natural

Sustainable

Organic

8.5 grams of Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm
