Breathe
My blood, bled;
he struggled to breathe
frail in bed
words run dry
when glued to a monitor
life is on the line.
Your Turn
THEME: Breathe
I wrote these lines recently, when a family member went through a life altering illness. By the grace of God he is better now and on his way to a full recovery. This past couple of months however, not only brought us closer as a family but also made me realize that it is really okay if the only thing you did today was breathe.
