Poem: With This Breath I Do Take

Poem: With This Breath I Do Take

With this breath, I do take

full control of my life.

I mustn’t let

the pain of the past

overshadow my future.

I’ll promise to

forgive my enemies

and myself

for my transgressions.

For every day I wake,

I promise the Lord

I’ll make it great.

And I’ll no longer

mope

and feel sorry for me.

I’ll rise to the good,

fight the bad,

and love with a love

I’ve never had.

Now, tomorrow,

and for the rest of my life.
