Now Mine To Keep

My first breath every morning,
   a thank-you to the Lord

My heart beats then in tribute,
  single note in heaven's chord

My last breath every evening,
  as I close my eyes to sleep

To thank him softly once again,
 -his grace now mine to keep

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
  from ‘The Book Of Prayers'
