the breath of God

which gave us life

will also suck away

the all consuming woe and strife

that gathers every day

we often think

it's most unfair

we'll not forever live

but each of us has just the share

that God decides to give

the breath of God

supplies the wind

that drives our billowed sails

He loves us although we have sinned

for mankind always fails

we often strive

to rise above

to prove to Him our worth

He showers down his grace and love

to those who live on earth

the breath of God

is filled with song

to keep us from despair

forgiving us when we do wrong

if our hearts we lay bare

we tend to cry

and shake our fists

declaring God is dead

but those who choose to slash their wrists

to satan will be wed

Good verse, though I do not agree with the last statement. Suicide is born of despair, of a life that is so unhappy that it can no longer exist. I can not believe if there is a god that he does not see that for some the burden of life is to great and that they need pity not to be condemned.

the last verse , is a bit strong, i know from experience that life can get to heavy sometimes. i don't think God would turn away from people in life and death too, at least i hope not .
