some easy 
some hard 
some happy 
some depressing 
some anxious…oh so anxious 
This moment is trying 
oh so trying 
Oh the dark side
is so frightening 
Yet I sit amongst soothing waters 
while your soft breezes gently stroke my cheek and your wild birds serenade me from afar  
Your firm, steady  ground perpetually supports me  
This morning I breathe in your crisp clean air 
You are here 
by my side
by my side
I honor each inhalation 
for tomorrow 
is a gift  
never to be taken for granted
