The Breath of Life (Villanelle)

lubsedutime

Oh Lord, thanks for the breath of life in me

Oh Lord, thanks for seeing another day

Without the respiration of life, I am nothing and nothing in me

 

I exist like the fishes in the sea

Under your wings I want to stay

Oh Lord, thanks for the breath of life in me

 

I can hear, touch, smell, taste, and see

I thank the Lord for this as I pray

Without the respiration of life, I am nothing and nothing in me

 

As lively as a cricket I want to be

But as lifeless as a grave I do not want to stay

Oh Lord, thanks for the breath of life in me

 

I breathe like every tree

And all the animals on this earth, on stage they play

Without the respiration of life, I am nothing and nothing in me

 

With you I want to always be

To be like spring, merry and gay

Oh Lord, thanks for the breath of life in me

Without the respiration of life, I am nothing and nothing in me

Have your say
