Each Breath

Each breath

we take

can be a lifetime,

when we are loved

and remembered for our hugs.

 

Though the darkest shadows,

I raised this prayer of verse

for you time of struggle,

hoping it helps to encourage

with his promise of how his eyes always see,

never forget, nor abandon his angels.

 

May his mercy and healing

drape you in the serene, assuring weave

of his spirit's everlasting garment.

 

Lifting so tenderly

your life and need

towards heaven's merciful throne

where you are never without

God's hand holding on to yours,

comforting in his quiet caring caress

letting you feel by his presence

how you are not alone.

 

Knowing too that no single care

goes unfelt

by the heart of God.
