Notes About The Poem

I Breathe Life

I breathe life- with each newborn day;
     I eat- keep warm, dry, and safe. 
I work, play, sleep- along with joy
          to see, hear, taste, smell, and feel. 
Each day, I love and share– 
     and I am loved back in return.

Ordinary- but essential gifts
     that fill each second, minute, hour-
days that fly– so easy to become 
          my take-for-granted life.
And, yes, I give my thanks- 
     for every special one.

When I take the time to think 
     what a miracle life is- 
          to be alive here on this earth; 
to share my time with those I love
     within my happy, precious space!
How fortunate I am!

I give my heartfelt thanks 
     for these outstanding days,
          which have always filled my life!
And I embrace these blessed gifts 
     that shaped my earthly stay-
as I breathe life- until my end of days.
