INSIDE EACH BREATH

INSIDE EACH BREATH

I want to live, inside each breath
While I'm given the chance
Smell the sweet fragrance of a rose
Watch a butterfly dance
I want to be present
Be aware that I'm there
I want to breathe in every moment
Live life, with a flair
I'll fill my life, full of moments
Beautiful moments, I won't forget
I won't know of disappointment
Of heartache or regret
I'll feel the sand, between my toes
Breathe in, inhale the ocean's air
Not rush through this moment
Or wish to be elsewhere
I want to live in spontaneous moments
Unscripted, unplanned
Living and breathing in each moment
Is what makes living, so grand

I fully understand; how jumping to the future or staying in the past can make you miss the precious moments of NOW. I'll keep trying to stay in the moment and enjoy whatever it is I'm doing! Thank you Tony!
