Breath Through This Place Poem by Ellen Rose Kelley

My whole world is the pain inside me
The best I can do is just get through the day
A life before is only memory
I wonder why God lets me walk through this place.

Oh lord, where are you?
Do not forget me here
I cry in silence
Can you not see my tears?
When all have left me
And hope has to suffuite
You'll find me here

And though i can't understand why this happened
I know that I will when I look back some day
And see how you've brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames

Each breath breathed means we're alive and
Life means that we can find
The reasons to keep on getting by and
If reasons we can't find we'll
Make up some to get by 'till
Breath by breath we'll leave this behind.
