The Breath of Life

As we be breathed in the dawn’s early light The sheath of our night is a victory away The truth in our voice is a sword that is bright By the choice to forgive in the heat of the day Oh, take in the breath of a new morning sent Bask in the breeze of an ease in your day Boil and bake to the balm of content Sleep in the peace of a happy, new way The best part of life is the husband or wife Who is firm with your daughter or son The end of your strife is the mend in your life By the calm of the peace that is won.
