Now Mine To Keep
My first breath every morning,
a thank-you to the Lord
My heart beats then in tribute,
single note in heaven’s chord
My last breath every evening,
as I close my eyes to sleep
To thank him softly once again,
—his grace now mine to keep
From: 'The Book Of Prayers'
written for my Grandchildren,
Kiley, Hunter, Braden & Parker
