A Breath of Air
you saw me before I was born,
The days allotted to me
had all been recorded in your book,
before any of them ever began.
Psalm 139 v16
a breath of air
one breath
one breath of life, and gone
untainted by this World
your fragile existence
held the form of a perfect body
gave a testimony to life
a value magnified
in the painful enormity
of the shattered lives of family
in the struggle
of your precious gift
a glimpse of being
more important than the stars
a breath of air
one breath
one breath of life, and gone –
forever remembered
