The life you gave me

A breath of air, through all despair, the life I live, I would not trade, yet... I sigh. The life you gave me, the breath that is mine, the heart, the soul, my mind, through all time, I refer to you, the life you gave me, the breath I take, the soul, my mind, divine, sometimes I call, I weep, often not even making a peep, I need you, I love you, I yearn to please you. Your acceptance I crave, and bring it to the grave. My mother, my friend, my sister, you were there, the one who cared when there was no other. The breath, the life, and the love I keep near, and know I have nothing to fear.
