With Each Breath
~~~
Five hundred million breaths
All it takes to see eighty years
Drawing in the oxygen that is
The oil to our body’s gears
~~~
Life held in each sweet gulp
Of the next there is little doubt
But what we are to our world
Is found in the pushing out
~~~
Exhaled words are our only means
To add depth to what people see
So, with each succulent, gifted breath
We should learn to speak carefully
~~~
An involuntary action of living
We may fill our lungs out of need
But what we blow into this world
Is what we consciously set free
~~~

so important to consider what we put out there –
Thank you, Beth!
Hear, hear! We should be free to speak our minds, but careful with the delivery! Added to the list! 😁
Thank you, my dear friend!
God is the breath of life, creativity and understanding… “Without a breath, without the life that I breathe in, I would be but a fragment of a dream…” Lovely work my friend. All the best and a great week (last one of the year) to you!
Thank you, my brother! Much love to you!
You too my friend!
Merry Christmas, Brad!
And to you and yours, my friend!
thanks, Brad!
