Now Mine To Keep

My first breath every morning,
  a thank-you to the Lord

My heart beats then in tribute,
  single note in heaven’s chord 

My last breath every evening,
  as I close my eyes to sleep

To thank him softly once again,
 —his grace now mine to keep


From: 'The Book Of Prayers' 
written for my Grandchildren,
Kiley, Hunter, Braden & Parker
