I want to breathe
Truly breathe
Let me breathe
My child’s laughter
Our food cooking on the stove
The anticipation of tomorrow
And all the revelations it holds
My mothers’ smile
On seeing her family
Together and whole
Gods smile
As I walk my dog
Seeing his excitement on being free
Let me breathe
My home
My family
And all those that surround me
Let me breathe
So I may know my heart and soul
