A Common Breath

Through all this life and all this death Some soon to find their final breath And some still here are soon to find Their final breath not far behind

The older I get, the less I take my next breath for granted. Well penned rhyme my friend.

Hello Jerry, Now that I'm in my sixties, I think about my final breath more every day. That's why I eat right and work out on a regular basis. A little preventive maintainence goes a long way. I hope. Thanks for the feedback and enjoy every breath you take.

Sorry Paul, too much doom and gloom in the room is no way to start your weekend. The older I get, the more I think about the end. I was just trying to convey that the common breath we all share is our final one. I'll write something a bit more peppy next time.
