To breathe is to think of you And be glad for you Being part of my life. To breathe is to want your smile Filling my eyes And warming my heart. To breathe is to pray for you God should take great care Of His finest creation. To breathe is to know your scent And the beat of your heart In life's most special times. To breathe is to dream of you And to hope your dreams Bring you joy and peace. To breathe is to hope for you A love filled life That defines happiness. To breathe is to wish for you Success in all deeds And your wishes come true. To breathe is to feel your touch For the quickest hug Imprints my skin. To breathe is to hear your voice My mind echoing This world's sweetest sound. To breathe is to have the faith That thoughts of me Fall gently on your heart. To breathe is to think of you A friend for all time And for every breath. |

One doesn't hold much chance of living any type of life if he or she won't breath... sometimes, a subconscious action... sometimes, a very conscious struggle... I enjoyed this suthern... very, very much... |

Toerag: I’m now standing at the blackboard, diligently writing my lines 100 times: Toe is right Toe is always right Quitcher shakin’ like a lily-livered coward, woman, And do what he says Cause Toe is always right. *G* Thank you so much, dearest friend. *S* Cpat: Lessee... shall I count the ways? LOL I’m lazy, I’m chicken, I’m making Toe suffer through email, I’m busy reading.... LOL Take your pick! LOL Thank you very much for enjoying. *S* Seymour: I’ll even pant, dear friend. *S* Thank you!!! Duncan: It wasn’t actually written as a valentine... but I’m glad it’s considered appropriate. *S* Thank you! EA: Thank you so very much... and I’m ready for a double helping of those struedel oodles! LOL GS: Thank you very much! *S* Sunshine: I’m so glad... thank you!! Toe: ROFLMAO!!! Since I’m hyperventilating at the thought of putting free verse “out there” I can breathe for Sy, whatever the reason! LOL SMOOCH! |

First and foremost, this was a great write! Thank you for sharing. As I read your piece it made me think of a woman in labor and all the things she hopes for in the birth of her child. Perhaps I am well off the mark, but its the perception left. I bow to you and yours. |
