This Gift
Let us never forget
The precious gift of breath
The magic of moving with freedom and ease
To come and go and do as we please.
The privilege of crossing skies to explore other lands
The connection we feel from holding our hands.
Shame on us if we revert back to our ways
If this moment in humanity we simply erase
Building the walls that kept us apart
Forgetting we are connected in breath and in heart.
For this life is an honour, a gift to look after
To fill every second with love and with laughter.
So please let us learn and may we never forget
The fortune we feel with each taken breath.
