One Breath

I breathe my first breath & I wonder,
I breathe in the breath of my Mother
I breathe in the breath of my Father,
Breathing deeply & quietly I wonder

  

I breathe in the breath of a butterfly,
I share it with my sister & brother,
Breathing in and out with a dragonfly,
I giggle & smile & remember!

  

I breathe in & out with the butterfly,
I breathe with the trees & the flowers,
I giggle & smile & remember!
It's just ONE Breath - we share it with each other!

  

Then, we honor each breath and treat it with care as
We honor Mother Earth and the breath she shares,
Now everyone sings & we honor each other and know
Its just ONE Breath and we share it with each other!

  

I breathe in with the stroke of a butterfly’s wing, and out with the wag of a tail.  I breathe in with a snake and out with an elephant and I think that’s the breath of a whale I can smell!

 

As I wag my tail with the butterfly’s wings, I breathe in and out with my Mother ...
