Just Breathe
To what do I owe this sweetest pleasure
Of optimism's grand procession
When days are weighed then carefully measured
And trials find their hope in recession
True, there are moments when my heart gives out
Like worn out jeans give way at the knees
Or cobblestone walkways forfeit their grout
Those fears hang on my heart just to tease
Then comes the sigh deflating every care
Like a flower blossom seeking the sun
Forgetting the chill of yesterday's night
Growing strong in the warmth as it comes
In the flash of a moment
In the twinkling of an eye
Giving in to the torment
Or rejecting the lie
For every storm runs out of rain
The winds will find their end
Trials they change as quickly as they came
Such anxiety we need not expend
So here I inhabit optimism
Like falsehood resides in a lie
Like the doubtless avoids all pessimism
Just breathe... All it took was a sigh
