Oxygen Brings Life


Oxygen Brings Life
© 2018 by P Michael Biggs

Oxygen … oh so necessary.
It brings life and health.
It is nature’s apothecary

What gives you oxygen?
Is it a lovely picture,
or an ocean view?
Is it waves crashing
Or birds squawking and calling?


Is it a well-versed poem,
or a favorite book?
Is it the sight of grandkids
swimming in the brook?

I like pecan pie. 
Is that oxygen to me?
My brothers, all three
never could agree.
Cakes, custards and pies;
our Mom made all three.

Perhaps oxygen is as simple
as what might inspire you.
Perhaps it is a heart-to-heart talk,
a spring-time walk,
holding hands
and knowing someone understands.

All I know is this …
Oxygen brings life
and life is very good.
Very, very good!
