LOVE'S PRECIOUS BREATH

First given by God to imbue life into man;  
It has always been a part of God's eternal plan.  
We first feel it's warmth when it comes as a gift;  
Given from the warm lips of our mother's first kiss.  
You next think you feel it as a child with a crush  
but it's not the real thing it’s only a brush.  
You definitely feel it with the love of your life,
as your body entwines with your husband or your wife.  
You may also feel it as you bring forth new life;  
They will tell you to control it so that the baby is alright.  
When you bring the baby forth you will restart its grace,  
as you exhale it in a kiss in your babies marveling face.  
The last time you will feel it, you will be surrounded by love  
from your God given family and your father from above.  
God will extend his hand and say you passed the test.  
You will smile as you take one last aspiration of: 
Love's Precious Breath.
