Breathe- Life's Bouquet

 
Breathe, and let love enter your heart and soul, and you will hear the Lord's whispers of hope; let his words fill your heart and make you whole, for with the Lord holding you- you can cope. Breathe, and the Lords essence will fill your life, and when you are made whole- love will find you; just let go ... surrender all of life's strife, find your bliss in a sweet kiss free and true. Breathe, and like a rose blooming find yourself, entwine with life and love- see with new eyes; put guilt, grief, sorrow in a locked bookshelf, trade anger, hate and revenge for blue skies. Breathe, deeply in the morning as you pray, and love and peace will be your life's bouquet. ____________________ August 17, 2021 Poetry/Sonnet/Breathe- Life's Bouquet Copyright Protected, 08-1381-658-17 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, As We Be Breathed sponsor, Unseeking Seeker, Judged 08/19/2021 Fourth Place
