Breathe

Breathe, won’t you breathe

through the cold, and through the frost?...

Watch your breath form, and freeze

until forever it is lost.

Breathe, won’t you breathe

at the start of every day?...

Stretching out your aching limbs...

Chasing all cobwebs away!

Breathe, won’t you breathe

after mounting that high hill?...

Pa and Ma are so impressed

by your undisputed skill!

Breathe, won’t you breathe

through the lungs when you’re knocked down?...

Life can be a constant test,

it can topple off your crown...

Breathe, won’t you breathe,

flying high up on your swing?...

Your brilliant smile lights the stars,

and it makes the playful sparrows sing!

Breathe, won’t you breathe

laughing with a new found friend...

Stolen moments seize our lives,

forcing time to suspend.
