Breathing Gratitude

May we look not to defeat Bounty laid upon our feet Seek instead your highest power Quickly now, its zero hour A solace for ugly scars Cut in fear behind jaded bars Love breaks free our prison cell Giving peace a place to dwell Begin by blessing to come awake With first breath one does take Admit the beauty for just the day Bow down, give thanks and pray
