Freefall

______________

I’d like to share this poem for all of those viewers who were moved enough by it to ask me where they could find it. Unfortunately, this poem is in a book that’s now out of print, but here it is for you to share and enjoy.

Freefall

If you have one hour of air

and many hours to go,

you must breathe slowly.

If you have one arm’s length

and many things to care for,

you must give freely.

If you have one chance to know God

and many doubts, you must

set your heart on fire.

We are blessed.

Every day is a chance.

We have two arms

Fear wastes air.
