Just Breathing

When life takes hold of you no mercy given Foreclosures popular , the new age to walk ..driven When your nerves are shattered The home you live in seems scattered Just breathe ~ children don't understand why you can't give money on the daily life feels cold and The bills are unbearable to open it seems When there is not enough food in the pantry for all you feel you are losing as you begin to fall , loose sight of dreams Just breathe ~ All these things are a test , every breath that counts. It's the faith, and will to live , as anxiety mounts In your darkest hour just call on his power with the help of God above , you will surmount. just breathe ~ just keep breathing " Just another day in paradise Contest "

Strangely when I look back at early days of struggle it does feel like it was a paradise. sadly I didn't think of it that way at the time. Great win, congrats. My poem didn't place but you might enjoy reading it just the same. Thanks for the HM in your contest, it is appreciated.

Sometimes, when we can do no more, all that we can do is breathe. And, really that's all we need to do is keep breathing, and we will get through anything! A very inspirational and calming poem to read! Congratulations on your well deserved win!

Just breathing is not enough sometimes while our wealthy Leaders destroy the dreams of our children and take food from the poor and elderly. Didn't Jesus Say "If you do this for the least of these you do it to me." By the look of their work I don't beleave they think much of Jesus or America. Your heart is good Shanity and I enjoyed your poem. God Bless.
