So Alive

So alive for purposeful reason Marked by blessed victorious lesson Our souls optimize functional space As we be breathed with God’s love and grace. Along kindness’ strength for helping glow Our hearts burst with compassion-flow Leaving ripples of good impact trace As we be breathed with God’s love and grace. Reaching-out to offer blissful hope Against miseries of global scope Our faith triumphs upon prayer-brace As we be breathed with God’s love and grace. Overcoming trials, grievous pain Our spirits praise midst gratitude gain Revived to serve through stewardship mace As we be breathed with God’s love and grace. Doing best, viewing eternal home We share; not around selfishness roam Though death our flesh in due time does face As we be breathed with God’s love and grace.
*Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. August 19, 2021 6th place, "As we be breathed" Poetry Writing Premier Contest Sponsored by Unseeking Seeker; judged on 8/19/2021.

My God! Don't you have a limit to your Biblical depth? Why don't you give me some glimpse at it? Just Joking. I admire your writings. This is the truth.

This is lovely, and for me the loveliest part was "Our faith triumphs upon prayer-brace As we be breathed with God’s love and grace." Blessings to you Beata.
