Now Mine To Keep Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Now Mine To Keep



My first breath every morning,
a thank-you to the Lord

My heart beats then in tribute,
single note in heaven's chord

My last breath every evening,
as I close my eyes to sleep

To thank him softly once again,
—his grace now mine to keep
