Arisen To Shine

Breaths of life shall lead way.
From an obstacle to a stumbling stone,
From my skin to my bone,
I take breaths of life every day.
There’s no other way,
I can hear that tone,
That’s me knowing I’m not alone.
It’s meant for me each and every day.
I bow my head,
And close my eyes,
And say it’s great to be alive.
Lay down in your beds,
And rest your sleepy souls this night,
I’ve arisen to shine with morning’s light!
