*Today You Begin To Breathe*
May.24.2014
Trisha Barrek Hopkins
Today you begin to breathe
It's the day you begin to die
You know you're getting older
You begin to cry
The tear that just dropped
And landed on your shoulder
Has already began to dry
It's getting harder to move
Your bones you begin to hear "pop"
Minutes of your life you're starting to lose
Praying your heart doesn't stop
Depression begins
The number of days lived drop
Stress is out beating you.... it wins
The day you begin to live
Another heartbeat has gone by
Yesterday is just a memory you can't give
You ask yourself why
Each breath you take
Another day you try
Praying the next day you wake
Angels above you fly
They wait until the time is right
You feel their presence is strong
To live you will put up a fight
Your time is not up they are wrong

This one could be easily
This one could be easily turned into song.
"The day you begin to live
Another heartbeat has gone by
Yesterday is just a memory you can't give
You ask yourself why
Each breath you take
Another day you try
Praying the next day you wake
Angels above you fly"
This is a great chorus stanza and just build the rest of the poem around it! I know its hard to finish an older poem but when you do let me know. One of my favorites by you.
