To the One

To the one who holds
My breath in his hands 
You're the reason
That I can exhale....
To the one who wrote
my name in the sand 
Just before the wind
Fills my sails....
To the one who has
My life in his plans 
Though I stumble
Walking the path...
You're the one who keeps 
The smile on my face 
Holding tears back
So I can laugh...
I'm thanking the one
That's responsible for
Every gift that 
I have received....
With love in my heart
I'm thanking you Lord
So I give back
The air that I breathe...
