breathe

Keep the wind in the willows,
keep the breeze in your hair,
enjoy the sunshine's warmth
know that it is there.

thank your mother
even if you're mad
just say thank you
 and allow her to feel glad.

tell your father,
something of kind
donot let the emotions
leave you both blind

then breathe.
tell your children you love
beyond all
that can ever be loved.

simply
honestly.
breathe
enjoy the breeze.

to wait for a better time
to go to bed with regret
to waste another moment
living with an ounce of dread

is wasting away the gift you have.
breathe.
enjoy the air. say heartfelt emotion
do what you dream

because in one instant
in one breath- in one sigh
it can all go away
like the blink of an eye

do not stop living
do not live life encumbered
breathe and smile
love before slumber. - June 2011- Janey
