Thoughts, Proof of Life

The cool morning, finds leaves splattered around the lawn
My thoughts turn inward
Judging...my life
Pondering if I have lived 
Self absorbed,
Or with purpose
Greater than myself
Increase my gratitude!!
Each day I live
Realization hits hard that
I need mercy more and more each day
The flesh is weak though the spirit is willing
Thoughts are my proof of living
Breathe in and out
Each breath I need Thee.

Each Breath I praise Thee.
