Accepting Life
As God breathed life into us,
so must we accept his gift!
Breathe in the life he gave you
for yourself -
and do it not halfheartedly.
Inhale deeply every little thing.
Swallow your experiences too as if
they were tasty morsels of food.
You can gulp them down with excitement
or savor them slowly.
Even unpleasant things must be taken in,
for every drop you breathe in and swallow
becomes a part of you
and molds you into the being you are -
more human
and closer to your maker.
