Cherish

Each breath,
Captived by butterfly nets.
Lungs of blessing to confined,
In living,
Every moment.
Filtered through the heart,
Imprisioned within the treasure chest,
Memory of reminding,
Each walking step.
Emotions separate,
Every minute.
Given,
interweave feelings.
Each breath,
Has a name.
Heart cannot dispute,
Remaining the same.
Each breath,
Cherish,
In one of numerous,
Sense of touch.
Vessel of breathing,
Contains the ghost being,
Spirit person.
Each breath,
Overcomes,
By the Will to carry on,
Every walking step.
Life is but one,
Earth grant not another.
Each breath,
Must join force in love,
Joy,
And peace,
To conquer in proclaiming a lifetime journey,
In each breath-
