I Breathe
I breathe in hope as I step into the day,
This helps me dispel every gloomy ray,
Though I wake up with the weight of the unfamiliar clouding my light,
Hope strengthens me to rise and fight.
I breathe in hope as the sun brightens the sky,
And the birds take to the air and fly,
A new day encourages me to believe in myself,
Even as I journey across its vast sea.
I breathe in hope as I walk every mile,
As I seek to know what lies behind the veil.
I come to understand some truths about life,
Ease often comes after strife.
I breathe in hope through every season,
Even in the times that offer no reason,
It gives me a reason to believe in the best,
As I find a way out of the night’s nest.
