We take things for granted but we should Thank God with every breath.


Poem Artwork

 


Each small breath we breathe each beat of the heart


Are wondrous miracles and as such are a part


Of life’s miraculous beauty, of life’s marvelous drive


They help take us to a world of fulfillment for which we all strive.


We needn’t worry where our life cometh from for that is ordained


For each breath we have taken has always remained


In the hands of the father who gives us our breath


Each breath we take sustains us and keeps us from death.


So, why do we worry about our future on earth?


Why do we not live life for all that its worth.


God gives us the heartbeat that keeps us alive.


He gives us the courage so we all can survive


Life’s problems and troubles and still live each day


Believing in God so we honestly can say


I know not what the future holds but I know who is my guide


He is the one that I proudly call my God


He gave me my breath so with it I shout


Serving my Lord is what life’s all about.


My Lord Jesus Christ has come into my being


And now I can walk through the dark without even seeing


For I know his light will guide me all the way


Each little breath I take as I live throughout my day.


Tomorrow is promised but I know not where I will be


But I care not, for wherever I am so is he.

Such a thankful and wise spirit in this construct!

I wish all those claiming Christ could be as humble and thankful as you are Lew.

Alas!
