The Breath Breathe

Hearing the breath breathe
Is heartening to us 
Cause tomorrow may bring
Happiness or sadness 
Or something 
We haven’t seen.

But today we’ll hear
The breath breathe
And know
That just for today
We’re living, breathing
We’re okay.

Let Me Take

Let me take the steps needed
To go in the direction
Necessary and okay
Today, tomorrow and yesterday.

It’s Going To Be Okay

It’s going to be okay
All this badness will fade away
It’s going to be okay.

Tears will be for not
It’s going to be okay
On this sad but sunny day
I know, I pray
It’s going to be okay.

Maybe It’s Okay

 

 

 

 

Maybe it’s okay
And maybe all right
But tonight it just
Doesn’t feel right.

Take care, be right
You’re not perfect
But definitely  all right
In this dusky morning
Of tonight.
