Baby Just Breath

As a new born baby enters this world,
                             
it takes it's first breathe of air with a cry.
                           
Their tiny lungs are working hard,
                                   
to take in air and to release it back out.
 
As the tiny body and spirit grows our lungs grow,
             
each day we take in more air.
                                         
Now we can run and jump high,
                                     
maybe we can even reach the sky.
 
As we grow filling our lungs with more air,
       
we can speak softly to the one we love.
                           
We may want to sing like birds in the breeze,
                   
or sing loud for all to hear.
 
Life is filled with many breaths,
                                       
far too many to count.
                                                   
Then the day will come,
                                           
when spirit and breath are all done and heaven awaits.
