One Breath

It all starts with one breath
That ushers you into this world
To enter into all the possibilities
The endless opportunities….

It all starts with one breath
Just before you step into the world unknown
Not knowing what the future has in store
But hoping that it’s better than what was before…

It all starts with one breath
That we decide to love
To take another in our arms
To promise to keep them safe from harm

It all starts with one breath
To begin it all anew
To move on in this journey of life
To forgive those that hurt you

Just as it starts with one breath
One day we’ll reach the journey’s end
And on that mountain we’ll stand
Will we stand tall and say
“We’ve run a good race, and lived a life of grace”…?

Take one breath
Live your life to bless

‘Cause it all starts with one breath
Before you step into the world unknown
Not knowing what the future has in store
But hoping that it’s better than what was before…
