INHALE
The morning air i chance to breathe
For such is destiny
A night now gone and sleep to ease
Oh breeze blown hastily
I've found today a gift so rare
Unwrapped is life anew
The slate of yesterday not bare
I add now words a few
What greater gift than just to be
To wonder or to sigh
The greatest part of being me
Is gratitude oh my
In this my empty nested life
A bird song weed or cloud
Are much to be and without strife
And i can sing out loud
